Your landlord is obliged to keep your home in reasonable condition and up to a decent standard of repair. If you have reported a repair to your landlord (for example - missing roof tiles or broken window seals which have allowed rain and damp to penetrate your home) and this has not been dealt with by them then you may be entitled to make a claim for housing disrepair. These claims are pursued under section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. Under this legislation you are entitled to bring a claim where there is ‘actionable disrepair’ at your property and you have given ‘reasonable’ notice to your landlord to enable them to address the problems but they have failed to do so.
We offer a free no obligation, home visit to provide advice on pursuing this type of claim. If you are entitled to make a claim we can offer a No Win No Fee service.
If your claim is successful, your repairs will be carried out and you may also be awarded compensation.
If you think you have a claim, simply complete the short questionnaire below and we'll check it for you. It won't cost you anything, there is no obligation for you to pursue a claim, and you'll get a prompt response from our specialist claims team.
