If you reside in a council-owned property, the local council should be responsible for any household repairs that need to be done.

However, if they have not answered your call despite notification of these problems, then taking legal action against them may be something you need to consider.
Before filing a grievance against the municipality, it is essential to guarantee that you have reported the issue and they haven’t responded. If your case succeeds, there’s a possibility of court ordering city repairs along with compensation for associated costs.

By law, your landlord is mandated to guarantee that you have access to dependable hot water and/or heat at any given time. As a tenant, it’s your legal right to receive central heating or space-heating facilities in all rooms of the house. You are also entitled to boiling water services when needed.
As a tenant, you have the right to expect your landlord to responsibly maintain all hot water and heating systems as well as appliances that they have set up. Furthermore, it is essential for these devices to be in proper working order; if any problems arise with the heaters or other related equipment within your rental property, then it is incumbent on them to promptly repair and pay for necessary maintenance expenses.
As a landlord, it’s your responsibility to guarantee that all elements of your rental property are well-maintained and functioning properly. This includes plumbing, drainage pipes, gas and electricity systems as well as any other installations. If there is ever an issue with water leakage in the home you oversee, then you must act quickly to resolve it effectively – no excuses!
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.
Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 demands that all landlords must address any essential exterior or structural repairs needed for their rented properties. This is more than just typical upkeep – anything from a repair task which impacts the physical structure to one affecting its overall aesthetic falls under this particular legal provision.
The landlord is accountable for eliminating any security risks present in or around the property with their own capital. While your lease may account for you to do some minor maintenance, like replacing light bulbs, most major repairs are not your responsibility.
