If your landlord is refusing to resolve any of these issues, TPC Legal is here to help you pursue your claim.
Type of Housing: Claims are often more straightforward for tenants in council or housing association properties due to the well-defined obligations of such landlords. However, tenants in private rentals are also protected under UK housing laws.
Reporting of Disrepairs: To be eligible for a claim, the tenant must report the disrepair to the landlord or managing agent, ideally in writing, with records of all communication. This documentation is essential as evidence if the issue escalates.
Waiting Period: Tenants must allow a reasonable amount of time for the landlord to address the repairs—typically three months. If no action is taken within this time, the landlord may be considered negligent.
Impact on Tenants: The disrepair must have had a tangible impact on the tenant’s life, such as health issues due to dampness, lack of security, or other significant inconveniences.
