Frequently Asked Questions

What can I claim for?

Your landlord is responsible for the Property structure (roof, walls, ceilings, floors and windows) property fittings (bathroom, toilet and kitchen fittings, plus associated pipes and drains), welfare infrastructure (heating and water systems and associated pipework), alarms (security, fire and other safety alarms) safety features (gas appliances, electrical safety, any ventilation systems). So if you encounter problems with any of these features your landlord is responsible for repairing them at no cost to you. If they do not do this, after a reasonable period of time you can start a claim.

What does my claim cover?

If we think your case is valid and will be successful, and you are eligible, we will proceed with a claim to ensure:

• The landlord carries out the repairs you have reported
• You receive back the costs for any damage to your personal belongings directly related to the issue
• You are compensated for any financial loss directly relating to the issue
• You are compensated for any personal injury or ill health directly relating to the issue
• You are compensated for the inconvenience of living with the issue

Am I eligible to make a housing disrepair claim?

You are eligible to make a claim if ALL of these apply to you:

• You are renting the property through a housing association, social housing or local authority
• You have contacted the landlord directly about a problem that needs repairing
• You have given the landlord a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue, but they haven’t and you are still living with it, or you have had to move out because it was unresolved.

How much compensation will I get?

This is always calculated on an individual basis, there is no set amount. The eventual award will depend on factors such as how much rent you pay, how badly the repair had deteriorated since you reported it, how it affected you and how long the issue remained unresolved.
