Housing Disrepair Claims for Council Tenants in Enfield
or call Legal HD on 0161 974 7350
Are you a tenant living in an Enfield Council or housing association property with serious repair problems that keep getting ignored? If you’ve reported issues and nothing’s been done, you could be entitled to compensation—and we can help you take legal action to get the repairs sorted.
We specialise in supporting tenants across Enfield who are dealing with unacceptable living conditions due to housing disrepair. If your landlord isn’t taking your concerns seriously, we will.
What is Housing Disrepair?
Housing disrepair refers to damage or faults in a rental property that the landlord is legally responsible for fixing. If you’ve notified them and they’ve failed to resolve the problem in a reasonable time, you may have the right to bring a claim.
Common repair issues reported by tenants in Enfield include:
- Severe damp and black mould, often caused by leaks or poor ventilation
- Leaking pipes, roofs or windows, leading to water damage
- Lack of heating or hot water, especially in winter
- Dangerous electrical problems, such as exposed wiring
- Rodents, insects or other pest infestations
- Structural problems, including cracked ceilings or subsiding walls
- Broken locks, windows or doors, compromising safety
- Unusable or unhygienic kitchen or bathroom facilities
If any of these sound familiar—and your landlord still hasn’t acted—you may be entitled to make a housing disrepair claim.
What Can You Claim Compensation For?
Living with long-term repair issues can take a serious toll on your health, finances and wellbeing. If your landlord has failed to act, you could be entitled to claim compensation for:
- Stress and inconvenience caused by the disrepair
- Damaged personal belongings, such as clothes, furniture or carpets
- Increased expenses, like higher heating bills or replacing household items
You may also be entitled to compensation even if your landlord eventually fixes the problem—what matters is how long you were left in those conditions.
