What is a housing disrepair claim?
A housing disrepair claim is a legal action taken by tenants against their landlord when the landlord fails to maintain the property in a livable condition. This includes issues like damp, mould, faulty heating, structural problems, and more.
HideWhat can I claim for in a housing disrepair case?
You can claim compensation for damage to your personal belongings, harm to your health (such as respiratory issues caused by mould), and the inconvenience caused by living in disrepair. In addition, your landlord will be required to carry out the necessary repairs.
HideHow do I know if I have a claim?
If you have reported the disrepair to your landlord, and they have failed to make the necessary repairs within a reasonable time, you may have grounds for a claim. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your case.
HideWhat evidence will I need for my claim?
Evidence may include photos of the disrepair, correspondence with your landlord (emails, letters, texts), medical records if your health has been affected, and receipts for any expenses incurred, such as replacing damaged belongings.
HideHow much compensation could I receive?
Compensation varies depending on the severity of the disrepair and the impact it has had on your health, belongings, and quality of life. We will assess your case during the consultation and provide an estimate of potential compensation.
HideWhat is the landlord’s responsibility for repairs?
Landlords are legally obligated to maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition. This includes ensuring the property is free from damp, mould, and structural issues, and that essential services like heating, plumbing, and electricity are in working order.
HideCan I make a claim if I am still living in the property?
Yes, you can make a claim even if you are still living in the property. You do not need to move out to file a housing disrepair claim. We’ll work to ensure your landlord carries out the repairs while you continue to live there.
HideHow long do I have to make a housing disrepair claim?
You generally have six years from the time the disrepair became an issue to make a claim. However, we recommend acting as soon as possible to prevent further damage and inconvenience.
HideWhat if my landlord refuses to carry out repairs?
If your landlord refuses to make the necessary repairs after we contact them, we can take legal action. This could involve going to court, where a judge will order the landlord to carry out the repairs and award you compensation.
HideCan I make a claim if my landlord is a council or housing association?
Yes, you can make a housing disrepair claim against a council or housing association, as they have the same legal obligations as private landlords to maintain the property in good repair.
HideDo I need to pay upfront for legal services?
No, we operate on a “no win, no fee” basis, meaning you don’t have to pay any legal fees upfront. If your claim is successful, we take our fee from the compensation awarded to you.
HideHow long will the claim process take?
The length of the claim process varies depending on the complexity of the case and how quickly your landlord responds. However, we aim to resolve most claims within 6-12 months, and we’ll keep you updated at every stage.
HideWhat happens if my claim is unsuccessful?
If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay any legal fees due to our “no win, no fee” policy, meaning there is no financial risk to you in pursuing a claim.
HideCan I make a claim if the disrepair has caused health issues?
Yes, if the disrepair has affected your health, such as respiratory issues from damp or mould, you can claim compensation for medical expenses and the impact on your quality of life. We will work with medical experts to support your claim.
HideWhat should I do if my belongings have been damaged by the disrepair?
If your personal belongings have been damaged by issues like damp or leaks, keep receipts and take photos as evidence. You can claim compensation for the cost of replacing or repairing damaged items.
HideCan I withhold rent if my landlord isn’t making repairs?
Legally, you cannot withhold rent, even if your landlord is failing to carry out repairs. However, you can still pursue a disrepair claim to force your landlord to act and compensate you for the inconvenience.
HideIs there a minimum value for a housing disrepair claim?
There is no minimum value for a housing disrepair claim. Every case is unique, and compensation is awarded based on the specific issues and their impact on your health, belongings, and living conditions.
HideWill my landlord evict me for making a claim?
It is illegal for landlords to evict tenants in retaliation for making a disrepair claim. If your landlord attempts to do so, you may have grounds for an additional claim for unfair eviction or harassment.
