Housing disrepair refers to situations where a rented property is in poor condition due to the landlord’s failure to carry out necessary repairs. This can include issues such as damp and mould, broken appliances, gas or water leaks, pest infestations, or structural defects.
You can make a claim against any council or housing association landlord if you reported a repair to them and it wasn’t satisfactorily carried out in a timely manner.
Yes, the list includes some of the larger UK-based housing associations, but it is not exhaustive. If you rent your home from any council or housing association in the UK, please get in touch with us—you could still be eligible for compensation.
You may be able to claim compensation for issues such as:
- Damp and Mould: Causing health problems or damage to belongings.
- Broken Appliances: Leaving you without essential facilities like heating, hot water, or cooking equipment.
- Gas or Water Leaks: Creating safety hazards or causing property damage.
- Pests and Vermin: Making the property unhygienic and uninhabitable.
- Structural Defects: Cracks, unsafe stairs, or roof damage that make the property unsafe.
- Broken Windows and Doors: Compromising security and comfort.
