What is a Repair Breach Claim?

A Repair Breach Claim arises when a landlord fails to comply with a settlement agreement or court order to carry out repairs within the specified timeframe or to an acceptable standard.

While similar to a housing disrepair claim, a repair breach claim is fundamentally a breach of contract claim. If your landlord has agreed—either voluntarily or by legal obligation—to carry out essential property repairs but has not done so, you may have the right to pursue legal action.

Behind the Scenes – Housing Disrepair Clients Experiences

The Government has implemented amendments to the Social Housing Regulation Bill to introduce

How is a Repair Breach Claim Different from a Housing Disrepair Claim?

While both claims seek to ensure property repairs are completed, they differ in process:

  • Housing Disrepair Claim – This is initiated when a landlord refuses to complete necessary repairs despite repeated tenant requests. The goal is to enforce the landlord’s legal responsibility to provide a safe and habitable home.
  • Repair Breach Claim – This occurs after a landlord has agreed or been ordered by the court to complete repairs but fails to do so on time or to the required standard. This constitutes a breach of contract, and tenants may be eligible for compensation.

Many repair breach claims follow a housing disrepair claim, particularly when landlords continue to ignore their obligations even after legal intervention.
