Your landlord is bound by law to ensure a few things

when he’s renting out his home to you. Let’s have a look at them, shall we?

  • The house should be in good shape to live in as far as the structure is concerned.
  • The property shouldn’t be damp and shouldn’t have Mould infestations.
  • Your landlord/lady should ensure proper access to electricity, gas, and water for you. These things should be safe as well.
  • People thrive in a clean environment. Your house should come with clean and functioning toilets, basins, and sinks.
  • An ideal house should come with a good heating system as well.
  • Your rented facility should have a good drainage system.
  • Your house should have a safe roof over your heads.


    If any of the above conditions aren’t met by your landlord/lady, you can claim housing disrepair compensation. This is where we come in, you can always get in touch with the Housing Disrepair Claim Experts and seek legal assistance.

What is Housing Disrepair Claim?

When you notice your house falling into disrepair, you need to let your house owner know. Also, allow him some time to fix the problem. If and only if he/she fails to repair the house or is oblivious to your claims, then you need to resort to the legal people. They will assess your damage and try to settle it with your landlord or lady. If settlement fails, together with you, we’ll take legal steps.

This is just like another case; you need to present your evidence to your solicitors. If they present your case right, your landlord/lady not only will repair all the faulty aspects, but he/she will have to pay you compensations for your troubles as well.  

Who Can Make Housing Disrepair Claims for their Troubles?

Look, each case is unique. You can’t tell just by a plain look. However, our expert housing disrepair solicitor panel will take in, examine your case, and can inform you whether you’re eligible for compensation or not. Let’s list the common categories that ARE eligible just for good measure.

 

 

  • People are eligible for compensation if they find a home through social housing or simply rent a house for themselves.

  • You are eligible for compensation regardless of your abode being a simple house or even a modern flat.
  • People will be able to claim money if the poor living condition has had an adverse effect on their health.

If your house owner is neglecting the problem, our team of experts can help you.

Problems with Faulty Water Lines and Gas

Faulty pipes and drainage systems can lead to water clogging and leaking through cracks. Water can even seep through walls and cause Mould infestation.

Compensation for Damaged Goods

When filing for a compensation fee, one can always include this type of damage in his/her claim. People can get compensation for things like clothes due to Mould infestations, electrical goods damaged due to a short circuit or other problems etc.

Remember, the compensation you get will cover your repair cost or will be just enough to replace the damaged item. It will be less than the price of the original thing. Tenants are expected to buy used goods with that money. 

Personal Injury Claims

You will be able to make claims for any personal injuries housing disrepair might have caused you while living on the property you rented. The amount you will get depends on the severity of that physical injury and the period you sustained it for. Also, you will get compensated for any type of loss of cash that injury might have caused you. For example, your loss of salary on a job

Housing Disrepair Claims Due to Inconvenience

Yes, you can claim compensation thanks to any type of inconvenience the housing disrepair might have caused you. For example, we’ve come across people who can’t sleep in their houses due to Mould infestations. You can claim in the court that the infestation made it inconvenient for you to use your house to the fullest potential.
