As a tenant, you can rely on your landlord to address any rising damp issues as most tenancy agreements include an implied term that obligates the proprietor to maintain and repair the interior & structure of your residence.

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!

Don’t delay if you believe there is damage caused by disrepair in your council house or rented property- take action as soon as possible! The sooner you make your complaint, the easier it will be to acquire evidence and urge any relevant parties towards responsibility. Additionally, various cases necessitate that certain deadlines must be met when filing an official claim; think of personal injury claims for example – they need to be addressed immediately! Therefore, don’t wait too long-make sure to lodge a housing disrepair claim without hesitation so that all necessary steps can be taken accurately and adequately.

If you have been diagnosed with an illness that you believe is a result of mould, it may be in your best interest to consult with a solicitor about taking legal action for compensation.

Excess moisture can lead to the development of damp and mould inside a house or flat, as is often caused by broken pipes, leaky roofs and window frames that let rainwater in. Additionally, using water before properly drying out new constructions will also likely result in an environment where dampness facilitates mould growth.

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, you have the responsibility of upholding and managing your rental property. This means being vigilant with all utilities including water systems, heating appliances, electricity and gas connections as well as drainage pipes. If any leaks arise in the home that falls under your watchful eye, it is imperative to solve it swiftly for everyone’s safety and comfort.

As a landlord, it is absolutely paramount to ensure that the home your tenants are moving into is secure and habitable. If water has seeped in from any kind of pipe or other sources within the rental property, you as the owner have an obligation to repair this damage before anyone moves in – no exceptions! Moreover, a landlord may not be able to terminate the tenancy of their tenant until all repair needs are addressed. Even if your house is stable and meets all necessary requirements for residence, you can take action if you feel that the landlord hasn’t taken care of an issue which makes it unsuitable for your family’s purposes. In rare occurrences, this might mean leaving before the end date in your lease arrangement. As such, don’t hesitate to stand up and defend yourself when needed!

As a landlord for either a Council or Housing Association, it is essential that you ensure the exterior of your rental property remains in good condition – this includes damage to doors and windows. It doesn’t matter what is stated in the agreement; at the end of the day, it’s up to you as an owner to guarantee all entrances into your tenants’ home are functioning.

Landlords should be aware of the detriments that can arise from a lack of regular maintenance, such as mold growth and safety hazards. To prevent these issues, they should be mindful to inspect for signs of wear-and-tear like eroded sealants, broken door handles/locks, rotten window frames, faulty hinges or cracked glass; in addition to ensuring all external openings remain draughtproof and protected against damp when properly closed.

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.
