Are you a Hackney Council or housing association tenant living in poor housing conditions? If your landlord has ignored repeated requests for repairs, you could be entitled to compensation—and we can help you take legal action to get the repairs completed.

At Legal HD, we specialise in helping Hackney tenants enforce their housing rights. If your home is affecting your health, safety, or quality of life, it’s time to act.

You Shouldn’t Have to Tolerate Disrepair

Tenants in Hackney often face delays, excuses, or complete silence from landlords when reporting repair issues. If you’ve done your part but nothing’s changed, a housing disrepair claim could help you:

• Get necessary repairs finally completed
• Claim financial compensation for the inconvenience or damage caused
• Protect your wellbeing and your family’s health
• Hold your landlord legally accountable

Don’t let your landlord neglect their responsibilities any longer—we’ll step in and handle the process for you.

What Issues Count as Housing Disrepair?

Not every issue is minor. If you’ve been left dealing with ongoing or dangerous problems, it may fall under disrepair—especially if your landlord has failed to respond appropriately.

Some of the most common disrepair issues reported in Hackney include:

• Widespread damp or black mould, often caused by leaks or poor ventilation
• Leaking roofs, pipes, or guttering, leading to water damage and rot
• Lack of heating or hot water, especially during the colder months
• Faulty electrics, such as flickering lights or exposed wiring
• Rodent or pest infestations that are not your responsibility
• Structural concerns, like cracks in walls or ceilings
• Broken or unsecured windows and doors
• Unsafe or unusable kitchen and bathroom facilities

If your landlord has been made aware of the problem and still hasn’t resolved it, it’s likely you have grounds for a housing disrepair claim.

What Can You Claim Compensation For?

You may be entitled to more than just repairs. A housing disrepair claim can also lead to financial compensation for:

• Distress, discomfort or inconvenience caused by the conditions
• Damage to your belongings, such as mould-damaged clothes, furniture, or electronics
• Extra costs, like increased energy bills or purchasing replacements

Even if the issue has since been fixed, you can still claim if you suffered due to delays or neglect.
