Everyone has the right to live in a safe and habitable home. Unfortunately, some landlords fail to fulfil their legal obligations to maintain properties, which means that their tenants live with disrepair, and in potentially unsafe properties.
If you’re facing housing disrepair and your landlord is refusing to rectify any disrepair that they are responsible for and which you have notified them about, then we are here to help.
We understand the impact that housing disrepair has on you and your family’s quality of life. We will work on your behalf to force your landlord into making the necessary repairs, and claim compensation for any damages or losses caused because of the disrepair.
Common Housing Disrepair Issues
- Water leaks or an ingress of water
- Damp and mould
- Defective central heating
- Faulty electrics
- Pest or Vermin infestation
- Defective or unsafe windows and doors
- Defective brickwork or structural cracks
- Defective roof, gutters or drains
If your rented property is suffering with any of the above disrepair issues and your landlord is failing to respond, contact us today for our expert assistance.
Our expert team will:
- Arrange for a surveyor to consider the disrepair at your property
- Pursue your landlord to carry out the necessary repair work as quickly as possible
- Seek to obtain compensation for the stress and inconvenience you have suffered, in addition to any claim for damage to property and/or personal injury to you or your family.
