What Is Housing Disrepair And What Are Your Rights?
Every person across the country has a legal right to live in a warm, safe, and habitable household. Unfortunately, many council/housing association tenants live in properties which are in a state of disrepair. A housing disrepair claim can be made when the tenant, has reported issues with their home to the landlord. You must give the landlord time to repair the property, however if the landlord fails to carry out the required repairs (within 3-6 months, depending on the severity of the problem) you can then file a housing disrepair claim for compensation.
Common issues can include:
Living in a property that is in state of disrepair can cause tenants to suffer illness or injury, damaged belongings and being unable to use the entirety of their home. The inconvenience caused by the disrepair and the landlord’s failure to carry out the repair works often leaves tenants feeling desperate or distressed.
