If the disrepair of your home has caused you to get hurt then you could be eligible for compensation. The negligence of your landlord has caused you to get into an accident that was not your fault.

Much attention is given to the damage housing disrepair has on families, especially those with young children. However, older people are often left in situations of housing disrepair that can go unresolved for years. Last month, Westminster City Council agreed to pay £21,000 to an elderly tenant who could not get necessary repairs done on her flat.
The lack of proper maintenance and repairs in residential properties has far-reaching consequences, leading to injuries, health issues, and a diminished quality of life for many vulnerable citizens.
Unfortunately, damp and mould continue to plague social and rented homes, with many more suffering serious and life-threatening health problems in the past year.
