Your Rights and How to Claim Compensation

Structural defects in your home can pose significant safety hazards, compromise your quality of life, and lead to costly damage. If you’re a tenant and your landlord has failed to address structural defects after being informed, you may be entitled to compensation.

Understanding Your Landlord’s Responsibilities

Landlords are legally obligated to maintain their properties in a safe and habitable condition. This includes addressing any structural defects, such as:

Cracks in Walls or Ceilings

Fixing cracks that could lead to further damage or indicate deeper structural issues.

Subsidence or Foundation Issues

Addressing problems that affect the stability of the property.

Roof Damage

Repairing leaks, missing tiles, or sagging roofs to prevent further deterioration.

Unsafe Floors, Stairs, or Railings

Ensuring these areas are stable, secure, and free from hazards.

Failure to address these issues can lead to serious safety risks, including injury, property damage, or even collapse.

Can You Claim Compensation?

You may be eligible to claim compensation if:

  • You’ve reported the structural defect to your landlord.
  • The landlord has not carried out the necessary repairs within a reasonable timeframe.
  • The defect has caused inconvenience, health risks, or damage to your belongings.
