As a tenant, you have the legal right to live in a safe, habitable home free from issues of housing disrepair. Whether you are renting from a Council or a Housing Association, your landlord has a legal duty to ensure the property is properly maintained and repairs are carried out in a timely manner to a reasonable standard.
If the disrepair in your home has resulted in personal injury or accidents, you may be entitled to compensation. If your landlord’s negligence has caused you harm or injury through unsafe living conditions, and the accident was not your fault, you could be eligible to claim for housing disrepair compensation.
Our expert solicitors specialise in personal injury claims resulting from housing disrepair. We can guide you through the claims process, helping you secure the compensation you deserve for any injuries caused by your landlord’s failure to maintain a safe living environment.

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.
