A property is said to be in a state of disrepair if the Landlord has failed to make good the necessary repairs in order to make the property safe and suitable for occupation by the tenant.
Your Landlord has certain legal responsibilities to keep the property in a good state of repair. The property also needs to be fit for living in.
We’ve all seen horror stories in the news and on TV where tenants have been living with mould, lack of heating, leaks, damp, poor electrical wiring and much more. These things and many other issues like these are the responsibility of your landlord and they have to deal with them. Our housing disrepair team can help you get compensation.We’ve all seen horror stories in the news and on TV where tenants have been living with mould, lack of heating, leaks, damp, poor electrical wiring and much more.

Millions of us in the UK rent our homes, yet many of us are unaware of our rights as tenants. Reports suggest an incredible 97% of us are not familiar with our rights as renters, and this is particularly troublesome for those who have repairs that need to be carried out in the property.
If you rent your home, your landlord is required by law to carry out repairs to the property. It can be very distressing if your landlord refuses to do so, and we understand that safe living conditions are the minimum anyone should expect.
If you have asked your landlord to repair your home and they have refused to do so, you may be eligible for housing disrepair compensation and can get a court order forcing them to repair the problems.
