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.

If you have been diagnosed with an illness that you believe is caused by mould, you should speak to a solicitor about bringing a claim for compensation.
Have you noticed an unsightly amount of mould and damp in your home? The leading cause is most likely due to an excess of moisture. This could be caused by a variety of sources, such as leaking pipes, damage that allows water inside from the roof or windows, or even newly built homes with insufficient drying time. Taking these elements into account can help you determine the true source so it can be addressed quickly.

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.
Landlords must assume the utmost responsibility for their rental properties and make sure all systems, such as water pipes, heating solutions, drainage facilities and other necessities like gas or electricity are functioning well. It is essential to promptly address any issue concerning water leakage in these residences under your supervision; swift action will be necessary to successfully handle the matter.
They must also ensure that the property is safe and fit for human habitation. If water damage has resulted from a water leak, the landlord may also be responsible for repairing this damage.
In most situations, a landlord can’t terminate your tenancy until the problem they are responsible for has been addressed. However, if your landlord has neglected to address an issue that makes living in the property unsuitable for you and your family’s needs, then it may be necessary to leave earlier than agreed. Despite being secure and suitable for human residence, this would give you sufficient grounds on which to take action.
Council & Housing association landlords are responsible for exterior repairs to a rental property, including damage to doors and windows. This responsibility exists even if the rental agreement says that the tenant is responsible for repairs.
Landlords should take it upon themselves to regularly inspect their property, particularly any external windows and doors. Not only can an unmaintained entrance or exit cause mould growth, but could potentially be a threat to security as well. So if you detect anything from broken door handles or locks, deteriorated sealants and window frames, flawed hinges or shattered glass – make sure these are addressed in a timely manner!
As dictated by Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, landlords are obligated to attend to any essential structural or external repairs needed on their rented property. Such repair works range from maintaining its structure to refreshing its aesthetic appeal.
Not only should the landlord be aware of and address safety hazards within the property or its vicinity, but they must also cover any costs associated with repairs. Although you may have to take charge of minor maintenance issues like changing light bulbs according to your lease agreement, landlords are accountable for any major structural renovations that arise.
