If you live in a property owned by your local council, then it is their responsibility to ensure that any necessary repairs- be they minor leaks or emergency fixes – are attended to. Should the city fail to meet their obligations and address the issue despite having been alerted of its existence, you may consider making a legal claim against them. Such action could potentially result in court enforcement requiring the municipality carry out repair works as well as monetary compensation for damages caused due to loss of amenity or inconvenience incurred.
Before filing a complaint against the council, it is important to make sure that you have reported your issue and that they have not responded.

Our housing disrepair experts understand the physical, emotional, and financial difficulties that renting poor quality property can have on renters. As a result, it is imperative for any housing association to ensure their residences are in working order; otherwise, they may be liable to pay compensation due to their conduct or negligence. We take our responsibility seriously and are quick to address any faults that occur.
If your rented property has had disrepair issues that have caused illness, damage to the structure, or major inconvenience for you or family members living in it, then you are entitled to compensation. Moreover, if due to these defects a portion of your home is not suitable for use anymore – and therefore unusable – you may be eligible to receive reimbursement on rent payments made.

As Landlords, it is your responsibility to handle the increasing dampness in homes. This stems from an underlying provision within tenancy agreements that mandates landlords keep the exterior and structure of tenant’s dwellings in good repair.
Have you been affected by the presence of mold, electrical issues or structural damage in your rental property? If so, then you may be eligible for a housing disrepair claim. You could potentially receive compensation from your landlord to make up for any troubles or financial losses caused by their neglect. In some cases, it is even possible to have previously paid rent reimbursed while repairs are being carried out on the property!
If you are considering filing a housing disrepair claim, it is important to act quickly. Acting swiftly makes it easier to collect evidence and hold responsible parties accountable. In addition, there may be legal time limits that need to be adhered to; for example, if your case involves personal injury claims they should be addressed in an expedient manner. Furthermore, if any health issues have been caused by mould present at home, getting professional legal advice on compensation as soon as possible is essential.
What leads to damp and mould growth? Moisture in buildings like houses and apartments can cause the formation of mold. Leaking pipes, a malfunctioning roof or windows that allow rainwater inside, or even using water while your new home is still drying out are all potential culprits behind this issue. To prevent any uncomfortable -or worst- dangerous effects associated with excessive mold presence, these sources must be identified and eliminated as soon as possible.

If your landlord or housing association can provide evidence to show that you are responsible for damaging the boiler, then you could be liable to pay. However, if an expert can say that a boiler was at the end of its life span and reach the expire date, then it is the landlord’s or housing association responsibility to pay for a new boiler.
As a landlord, it is your responsibility to maintain and safeguard the condition of your rental property. Every component must be taken into consideration, from water systems to heating apparatus, drainage pipes to gas and electrical units. If any form of water leakage occurs in the house that you administrate over, then you should respond right away with an effective solution.
The landlord not only has to guarantee that the property is habitable, but also make sure it is secure. In cases of water damage caused by a leakage, they might even be liable for fixing up the mess created as a result.
Typically, a landlord cannot terminate your occupancy until they have resolved any problems that are under their responsibility. If the issue remains after multiple attempts to resolve it and has made living in the property unsuitable for you or your family, then there is cause to take action. Even if initially deemed safe and appropriate by landlords, this breach of duty grants further grounds to act accordingly.
Even if a rental agreement states that the tenant is in charge of repairs, it is still the sole responsibility of Council & Housing association landlords to be accountable for any exterior damage to doors and windows.
As a landlord, it’s essential to inspect your property regularly to guarantee external windows and doors can be closed safely, are fully watertight, and provide complete draught-proofing. Neglecting maintenance of entrances or exits may result in an assortment of problems such as mould growth – not to mention posing a security risk! Therefore if you detect any broken door handles or locks, eroded sealants, rotting window frames, faulty hinges or shattered glass – don’t hesitate to get them fixed immediately!
Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 demands that landlords are accountable for ensuring all external and structural repairs to their rented premises. This goes beyond basic upkeep – any repair which impacts the aesthetic appeal or framework of your property is included under this legal regulation as well.
The landlord is responsible for taking care of any potential safety hazards within or around the rental property with their own resources. Even though your lease might state that you must do some minor tasks, like replacing light bulbs, most major repairs are not required by you.
