Landlord Responsibilities
Landlords have a legal obligation to ensure that rental properties are safe and habitable. They must carry out repairs within a reasonable period of time to the following:
Property Structure and Exterior:
Including the roof, walls, and windows.
Sanitary Fittings:
Such as baths, sinks, basins, as well as pipes and drains.
Heating and Water Systems
Gas Appliances
Ventilation Electrical Wirin
Landlords cannot charge tenants for any of the repair work listed above and are responsible for these repairs regardless of what the tenancy agreement states. However, with mutual agreement, landlords may also take on additional repair responsibilities as specified in the tenancy agreement.
Eligibility for Housing Disrepair Claims
If your landlord neglects to make necessary repairs to your rental property, you may be entitled to file a housing disrepair claim.
To qualify for a claim, you must have notified your landlord about the disrepair and provided supporting evidence. We can assist you with this process. If your landlord fails to address the issues within a reasonable timeframe, you are eligible to pursue a claim.
Housing disrepair claims can be initiated during your tenancy or after it has ended, provided that the claim is made within six years from the date you informed your landlord of the disrepair. For personal injury claims related to the disrepair, the claim must be filed within three years of the notice date.
It’s important to understand that landlords may not be held responsible for repair issues caused by tenant negligence or unreasonable actions. Currently, we do not handle claims against private landlords. If your landlord is an individual or you have used a letting agent, we may not be able to assist you.
What Can I Claim For?
When you file a disrepair claim, the court can order your landlord to carry out the necessary repairs. Additionally, you may be awarded compensation for several reasons, including:
Damage to Belongings
Compensation for any personal items that have been damaged or destroyed due to the poor condition of the property. This also includes damage caused during repairs conducted by your landlord.
Financial Loss
If you have experienced financial loss because of your landlord's failure to make repairs, you can claim for this. Please note that if you have rent arrears, it may impact the outcome of your claim.
Personal Injury
If you have suffered an injury due to your landlord's negligence, you may be eligible for a personal injury claim. This could include respiratory problems from damp or mould, injuries from slipping or tripping hazards, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other types of injuries. We can assist you with medical reports, expert evidence, and court proceedings.
Inconvenience
Compensation for inconveniences such as disruption to your daily life, inability to use your home, or having to wait for repairs to be completed.
How to Make a Housing Disrepair Claim
We specialise in claims against local councils, authorities, social housing, and housing associations. Unfortunately, we cannot accept claims from tenants against private landlords.
The process of making a claim against your landlord can be challenging, which is why you need the assistance of a legal expert. If you wish to make a claim, the first step is to consult with a professional to determine if your case meets the criteria.
Before filing a claim, you must follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Conditions Claims. This protocol outlines several steps that must be followed to make your claim. Failure to adhere to these steps can result in sanctions during proceedings. The steps include:
If your landlord does not respond to your letter of claim or provides an unsatisfactory response, you can proceed by applying to the county court.

Given the complexity of housing disrepair cases, it is highly recommended that you seek the assistance of a legal professional. As specialist housing disrepair team, we know precisely what it takes to make a successful claim based on repair issues.
We offer an initial assessment of your case to gather details and determine your eligibility for a housing disrepair claim. From there, we provide reliable legal advice on your next steps.

Cost of Filing a Housing Disrepair Claim
Filing a housing disrepair claim can incur costs. Depending on the severity of your case, you might be eligible for Legal Aid to help cover these expenses. Legal Aid funding is available only if there is a serious risk to the health and safety of tenants living in the property.
If Legal Aid is not an option, you will need to bear the costs yourself. The cost varies based on the court route you take, which can be one of three types: small claims, fast track, or multi-track.
Small Claims Court
If your compensation claim is under £10,000, your case may be heard in small claims court. However, if you seek an order for repairs, the case can only be heard in small claims if the repair costs are under £1,000 and the damages are under £1,000. If your case does not meet these criteria, it will likely be assigned to the fast-track court.
Fast Track Court
For cases that exceed the small claims court limits but are still relatively straightforward.
Multi-Track Court
For more complex cases involving higher values or more complicated issues.
If you win your case, the court can order your landlord to cover your costs.
Court proceedings and fees can vary from case to case. Our lawyers can provide more information about the fees you will need to pay. For further details, contact us today at [07717619060].
Our No Win, No Fee Policy
Whether your landlord is the local authority council or a housing association, if they fail to ensure your home is safe and comfortable, you have the right to sue them for poor living conditions, including damages for personal injury. We typically file a personal injury claim simultaneously.
We believe that everyone should have access to reliable and professional assistance with housing disrepair issues. That’s why we operate on a no-win, no-fee basis. Unfortunately, we cannot assist private tenants. However, you still have rights, and we advise you to review the Tenant Act or seek advice from a firm that caters to private tenants with legal costs covered on a no-win, no-fee basis.
Under a no-win, no-fee arrangement (formally known as a conditional fee agreement), you won’t be charged legal costs if your case is unsuccessful. There are no upfront costs, and if your case is successful, the payment will be deducted from your compensation.
Compensation for Housing Disrepair Claims
The amount of compensation awarded for housing disrepair claims varies based on several factors, including:
The cost of your rent
The severity of the disrepair
The duration of the issues since you informed your landlord
