Housing Disrepair Claims – Get Repairs Done Faster & Claim CompensationMarch 2, 2025 at 8:00 PMIf you’re living in a property with disrepair issues, it’s crucial to understand your rights as a tenant and the responsibilities of your landlord—whether they are the council or a housing association. Disrepair Legal is here to help you take action and claim the compensation you deserve.
Why Is Your Landlord Responsible for Repairs?
Your landlord owns the property, which means they are legally responsible for maintaining it in a safe and habitable condition. As a tenant, your role is to keep the house clean and in reasonable repair, but you are not responsible for fixing structural problems, leaks, damp, or faulty heating systems.
If your home requires repairs, it’s essential to report the issues to your landlord as soon as possible to give them a chance to address the problems. If they fail to act, Disrepair Legal can help you take legal steps to get the issue resolved and secure compensation for your suffering.
