Start a Claim
Housing disrepair is a rented property in need of repair(s), in order to be safe and habitable for the tenant, also said to be ‘in a state of disrepair’.
The main responsibilities for your landlord are;
- Installations at the property (water, gas, sanitation, heating, and electricity etc.)
- Structure of the property (drains, gutters, pipes, walls, flooring etc.)
This means, they should address your report of repairs by carrying out the necessary repairs needed, within a reasonable time frame.
You should not pay for any repairs yourself or be blamed. In some cases, the state of disrepair can be classed as emergency, for example not being able to live at the home or have no access to water/heating.
If you are living in a rented property, your landlord has requirements by law to provide a suitable, safe and habitable property which means keeping your home in a state of repair.
Here at MLA Solicitors, we legally force your landlord to guarantee your repairs, and issue compensation to you, for the stress and inconvenience caused.
Our team operates under a true no win, no fee agreement. Meaning, our services are completely free to social housing tenants. At no point will you be charged, win or lose.
Our legal fees are paid by the Council or Housing Association upon successful completion of a claim.
If a claim is unsuccessful, our fees will simply be wiped. However, don't worry, we will still work towards getting those repairs completed at the property.
The property may be affected by any of the following defects:
- Damp, mould and/or fungal growth
- Flooding and/or water Leaks
- Roof issues
- Structural defects (cracking, movement, sinking flooring, etc.)
- Dry rot
- Problems with guttering and/or drains
If the Council or Housing Association have failed to complete the repairs within a reasonable period, despite continuous complaints, exceeding 3 months (or 12 weeks), we are able to commence a Housing Disrepair Claim.
Please fill in this form and a member of our team will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
