Know Your Rights
What is Housing Disrepair?
Housing disrepair occurs when a landlord fails to maintain a rental property to a safe and habitable standard. Under UK law, landlords have a legal obligation to keep properties in good repair and fit for human habitation.
If your landlord has ignored your complaints about damp, mould, heating issues, or structural problems, you may be entitled to compensation for the inconvenience, health impacts, and damage to your belongings.
