Every tenant deserves a home that is safe, secure, and free from health hazards. Unfortunately, many tenants across the UK live in properties that are poorly maintained, unsafe, and sometimes even dangerous. From persistent damp and mould problems to leaking pipes, broken windows, faulty heating systems, and pest infestations, these issues can have serious consequences for both physical health and mental wellbeing.
This is where the Housing Disrepair Team steps in. Our mission is simple but powerful: to help tenants stand up for their rights and make a housing disrepair claim when their landlords fail to fulfil their legal obligations.
Understanding the Problem: What Qualifies as Housing Disrepair?
Housing disrepair includes any issues that make a rented property unsafe, uninhabitable, or harmful to the tenant’s health. These problems can include:
-
Mould and damp that causes respiratory issues
-
Water leaks or plumbing failures
-
Broken heating systems leaving homes cold in winter
-
Faulty electrics or lighting
-
Pest infestations such as rodents or insects
-
Broken or insecure doors and windows
-
Structural issues like cracked walls or ceilings
Under UK housing law, landlords are legally required to ensure that the property is fit to live in and remains in good repair throughout the tenancy. If they ignore repeated repair requests, tenants have the right to take legal action.
