Housing Repairs for tenants: Disrepair is the term used when your landlord is failing to carry out repairs to your home. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait until your house becomes uninhabitable to ask for help.
Get the repairs done - it's the Law
Whether you are renting from a private landlord, a housing association or a council, the law in England and Wales imposes strict requirements on all landlords to ensure that your property is kept in good condition.
The law says that “repair” involves the structure or exterior of a property. Examples of disrepair include a leaking roof, damp, rotten woodwork, leaking windows, or blocked or broken gutters, drains and external pipes.
Specialist legal advice in housing disrepair cases . If your landlord has failed to carry out necessary repairs, for example, if your home has a leak, or suffers from damp, or the central heating system is not working, we can help you. We will use the power of the court to force your landlord to make the repairs and help you to claim compensation for the inconvenience that this has caused.
Our experienced and sympathetic team of housing law solicitors in London can help you with your housing disrepair problems by:
Forcing your landlord to carry out repairs to your property by seeking an order from the County Court
Advising you on your rights under the Environmental Protection Act if the property has become unfit for human habitation.
Helping you to bring a claim for compensation against your landlord for the distress and inconvenience that you have suffered because of their failure to repair your property.
Your landlord's obligation Specialist housing law solicitors
Landlords have a variety of obligations to keep their properties in a proper state of repairs. Most of these are set out in The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. They include the duty to:
- Keep the structure of the building, including drains, gutters and external pipes in good repair.
- Ensure that anything needed for the supply of water, gas, electricity and sanitation is kept in working order.
- Keep the equipment used for heating and heating water in good repair.
- Make sure that the structural instability, serious disrepair or dampness don’t make the building unfit for human habitation.
Other laws force landlords to address the problems of infestations, such as rats, mice and insects and make them potentially liable for failing to make reasonable efforts to protect people from injury or loss caused by defective premises
