At Goldman Knightley, we understand the impact that living in a property in disrepair can have on your quality of life. If your home is suffering from issues such as damp, mould, structural defects, or inadequate heating, you may have the right to make a housing disrepair claim.
What is Housing Disrepair?
Housing disrepair refers to any condition in your rented property that affects its safety, functionality, or habitability. Common issues include:
- Damp and Mould: Excess moisture leading to health risks and property damage.
- Structural Issues: Cracks in walls, unstable foundations, or roof leaks.
- Heating and Plumbing Failures: Insufficient heating or malfunctioning plumbing systems.
- Pest Infestations: Problems with rodents or insects that compromise your living environment.
Your Rights as a Tenant
As a tenant in the UK, you have the right to live in a safe and habitable home. Landlords are legally obligated to maintain their properties and address any repairs in a timely manner. If your landlord fails to take action, you may be entitled to compensation for any inconvenience or harm caused.
