What is Housing Disrepair?
If you have informed your landlord about various issues concerning your home, such as persistent leaks, dampness, mould, or significant heating problems, and they have failed to address these issues in a reasonable time frame, you may have a valid case for housing disrepair. In such circumstances, your landlord will be officially notified about these pressing issues and will be requested to make the necessary repairs while also providing you with compensation for any inconvenience or distress caused.
Should they neglect to take appropriate action, we will take the next step by sending a letter of claim and will seek a court order to ensure the required repairs are made along with the appropriate compensation. To construct a robust and effective case, it is essential that you provide evidence demonstrating that these pressing problems have arisen due to your landlord's failure to maintain your home in a satisfactory condition.
