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.

English law is clear: your landlord must always secure a dependable source of heat or hot water for you as their tenant. Every room should be equipped with either central heating systems or space-heating devices to keep it warm, as well hot water available upon request!
Your landlord bears the responsibility to preserve and maintain any hot water, heating systems, or electric heaters they have installed on the premises. The security of all those living in a building relies on having well-functioning heating and hot water systems; thus it is mandatory for your landlord to ensure that these appliances remain in optimal condition. If there are ever problems with either system, repairs must be done quickly – at no cost to you!
As a landlord, you must ensure that your rental property is properly taken care of and maintained. This includes all facets from water to heating systems, drainage pipes to gas and electricity fittings. If there are any issues with water leakage in the residence that you’re responsible for, it’s up to you as the landlord to react quickly and appropriately address the concern.
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. In the event that your landlord has failed to resolve an issue which makes living there inappropriate for you and your family, then it is possible to take action in such a situation. Even if the property was deemed secure and appropriate before, you have grounds to act due to this breach of responsibility from their end.
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!
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.
