Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Any damage or problem that affects your home’s safety, structure, or comfort — such as damp, mould, leaks, or faulty heating — qualifies as housing disrepair if your landlord fails to fix it after being notified.
Yes. Most tenants file their claims while still living in the rented home. Your landlord is not legally allowed to evict you simply because you made a valid disrepair claim.
Every case is different, but most claims are resolved within 3 to 9 months, depending on the complexity and your landlord’s response.
If you’ve informed your landlord in writing and they fail to act within a reasonable time, you can start a legal claim. Keep all communication and photos as evidence.
Compensation is based on how badly the disrepair affects your life. You could receive 25% to 50% of your yearly rent, plus repair costs and damages for belongings.
No. We operate on a No-Win, No-Fee basis, so you won’t pay anything unless your case is successful.
What Compensation Can You Claim?
The amount of compensation you can receive for a housing disrepair claim depends on how serious the damage is and how long the problem has affected your living conditions. Tenants are entitled to compensation not only for the cost of repairs but also for the inconvenience, stress, and discomfort caused by the disrepair. If your belongings, such as clothes, furniture, or electrical items, have been damaged due to leaks, damp, or mould, you can include those costs in your claim. You may also be compensated for any health problems or medical expenses resulting from poor housing conditions.
In most cases, tenants can claim between 25% to 50% of their annual rent, depending on how badly the disrepair has impacted their quality of life and how long it remained unresolved. The longer your landlord ignores the issue, the higher your potential compensation may be. Our team works carefully to calculate the true value of your claim and make sure you receive every penny you deserve.
