Frquently Asked Questions
What is a housing disrepair claim?
A housing disrepair claim is a legal action against your landlord for failing to maintain your property in a safe and habitable condition. This includes issues like damp, mould, structural problems, or faulty heating systems that they've failed to fix.
Who can make a housing disrepair claim?
Current or former tenants of council houses, housing associations, or private landlords can make a claim if their landlord has failed to carry out necessary repairs after being notified of the issues.
What types of disrepair can be claimed for?
You can claim for issues including damp and mould, faulty heating or hot water, electrical hazards, structural problems, pest infestations, and more. Any condition that affects your health, safety, or comfort may be eligible.
How do I start a housing disrepair claim?
Start by completing our quick online assessment. If you qualify, our legal team will review your case and guide you through the entire process. We handle all communication with your landlord and legal proceedings.
What evidence do I need for a housing disrepair claim?
Evidence can include photographs of the disrepair, correspondence with your landlord, medical reports if your health has been affected, and records of any repairs attempted. Don't worry - we'll help you gather all necessary evidence.
Can I claim compensation for housing disrepair?
Yes, you may be entitled to compensation for damage to belongings, impact on health, and inconvenience caused. The amount depends on the severity and duration of the disrepair.
How long do I have to make a housing disrepair claim?
Generally, you have 6 years from the date the disrepair began to make a claim. However, we recommend acting as soon as possible while evidence is fresh and to prevent further damage or health issues.
Will I have to pay for repairs if I make a claim?
No, your landlord is legally responsible for carrying out and paying for repairs. Our service is No Win, No Fee, so you won't pay anything unless we win your case.
Can my landlord evict me for making a housing disrepair claim?
It's illegal for landlords to evict tenants solely for making a legitimate disrepair claim. This would be considered 'revenge eviction' and we can help protect your rights if this happens.
How long does a housing disrepair claim take?
Most claims are resolved within 4-8 months, though complex cases may take longer. We work to resolve your case as quickly as possible while ensuring the best outcome for you.
