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.

As a tenant, you can expect that your tenancy agreement would dictate that the landlord must resolve issues related to rising damp and other structural repairs. This holds landlords accountable for taking care of such matters.
If the condition of your home has caused you distress and financial hardship, like issues with damp, mildew, faulty electricity or structural damage – then it’s possible that you could be eligible for compensation from your landlord.
Plus, depending on the situation at hand, there may even be a chance of recovering some of the rent that was paid prior to the repairs being carried out. A housing disrepair claim can cover numerous problematic areas in residential properties; so don’t hesitate to take advantage!
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.
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.

English law ensures that all tenants are provided with dependable heating and hot water sources in their rental properties. Your landlord is obliged to supply central heating systems or space-heating equipment for every room, as well as providing easy access to boiling hot water if required. This guarantee of comfort should be extended to all occupants regardless of tenancy status.
Maintaining a pleasant living space is the landlord’s responsibility, including guaranteeing that hot water and heating systems are in excellent shape. Electric heaters provided by them must also be functioning appropriately. If ever you experience any difficulties with your heating or hot water system, your landlord has to make repairs and foot the bill for maintenance – it’s all part of their duties!
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.
