Health Deterioration Due to Housing Disrepair

Know Your Rights as a Tenant!

As a tenant of a Council or Housing Association property, you have the legal right to live in a safe, secure, and habitable home, free from housing disrepair issues that may impact your well-being.

When a property is left in disrepair, it can result in significant health deterioration. Unsafe living conditions, such as damp, mould, faulty heating, or structural damage, are not only uncomfortable but can also lead to serious health problems.

Disrepair Claims for Health Issues

If you’re renting and your property is in disrepair, it is unacceptable for your housing association or local council to ignore the issue. They are legally obligated to maintain your home in a condition that does not pose a risk to your health or safety.

Your Health and Disrepair: The Legal Right to Claim

If living in a disrepair property has caused health deterioration, you may be entitled to claim compensation for housing disrepair. Tenants who suffer from physical or mental health problems due to poor housing conditions can take legal action against their landlord for breach of duty.

If your health has been affected by disrepair in your home, you have the right to seek justice and compensation for housing disrepair. Our experienced team of solicitors is here to help you through every step of your claim.
