We can help you claim compensation from the council or housing associations

When you occupy a council-owned house, the local authorities are responsible for any home maintenance and upkeep necessary – even minor leaks or emergency repairs. If your grievances have gone ignored by the council despite your complaints, then it is within your right to take legal action against them.

Making a claim might result in the court ordering the city to make a repair, as well as compensation for expenses incurred.

Before filing a complaint to the council, it is essential that you confirm they have not responded to your reported issue. It would be prudent for you to report the problem first and wait for their response before taking any further action.

Can you make a housing disrepair claim against housing associations?

As a social housing tenant, you are entitled to the right of living in a safe and secure environment. If your current circumstances do not reflect these needs and instead put you at risk of further damage or disrepair, our legal team is ready to fight for what’s rightfully yours. Do not hesitate any longer; take prompt action by lodging an official complaint with the association that manages your property for damages already incurred and explore financial compensation options as necessary.

A housing association must make sure that the residences it offers are in good working order, and that any faults are promptly addressed. Otherwise, it may be held liable and required to pay compensation as a result of its conduct or inaction.

We had been waiting for 12 months for the damp to be repaired by the council but got nowhere. We were told by a friend that this company could help and within 6 months we received compensation for damages & all the damp and mould was removed.

How long can Guthram-Gowt housing associations & council landlords leave you without hot water or heating?

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.

Is it possible to get compensated for a leaking roof?

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.

Who is responsible for the windows and doors in a council property?

As a landlord of a Council or Housing Association property, it is your responsibility to ensure that exterior repairs are made on the building, including any damage done to doors and windows. Despite what your rental agreement maintains, you must take charge in upholding these requirements for tenants’ safety and security.

Failing to do so can cause serious problems such as mold growth or safety hazards. Landlords should check for indicators of wear-and-tear like eroded sealants, broken door handles/locks, rotten window frames, faulty hinges or broken glass; ensuring too that all external openings remain draughtproof and damp free when closed properly.

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.

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.
