As a tenant, you can expect your landlord to address any rising damp issues. This is because tenancy agreements typically contain an implied term that requires the landlord to keep up with internal & structural repairs of your home.
If your home is in an unkempt state and it has caused inconvenience or monetary damages, you may be able to pursue recompense from your landlord. A housing disrepair claim may encompass a wide array of problems, from mold and mildew growth to electrical issues to structural destruction.
You may also be able on occasion to get back the rent that was paid while the property was being fixed.
When filing a claim for housing disrepair, swift action is essential in order to acquire evidence and assign liability. Additionally, you must be aware of any statutory time limits, as delay may result in forfeiting the opportunity to obtain compensation; for instance, if your case involves personal injury claims then prompt consideration is required.
If mold at home has resulted in illness or health issues, it’s imperative that legal advice be sought without delay about claiming recompense.

As a landlord, it is essential to guarantee that the home is safe and suitable for renters. If water damage has been caused by a leak from any pipes or other sources within the rental property, you as the landlord are responsible for fixing this issue before your tenants can move in.
Furthermore, landlords must repair any issues before they can terminate the tenancy of their tenants. Even if your property is secure and meets all residential standards, you still have a right to act if it fails to live up to expectations that are important for your family’s wellbeing. On special occasions, this could include leaving prior to the end date listed in the agreement with your landlord.
Although rental agreements may state that tenants are responsible for repairs, Council & Housing association landlords have the duty to cover and manage exterior fixes such as windows or doors damage. When windows and doors become damaged, there can be numerous repercussions; from dampness to mould growth, even safety risks. Therefore it is paramount that these issues get addressed by the appropriate party in a timely manner.
Landlords should ensure that external windows and doors can close and that they are damp and draught-proof. They should fix any eroded sealants, broken door handles or locks, rotten window frames, faulty hinges or broken glass.
