How to Claim Compensation from your Landlord?

Are you currently renting a property that urgently requires repair, but your landlord is not addressing the problem? It is your landlord's legal obligation to conduct maintenance work within a designated time frame. Failure to do so opens the pathway for you to claim compensation.

Should the landlord persistently neglect the required repair work during your tenancy, it is within your rights to take legal action. Importantly, tenants impacted in both council and housing association properties can seek compensation by reclaiming a portion of their rent, following such a breach of duty by the landlord.

What Does Housing Disrepair Mean?

Each and every tenant along with their family has the right to live in a safe home with satisfactory conditions. Whether your landlord is the council or housing association, it’s their duty to ensure necessary repairs are made on time and in a suitable manner. In case of subpar or low-quality repairs which damage your belongings, cause harm to your family or bring any other inconvenience, you qualify for compensation.
