Do you live in a council or housing association property in Islington that’s been left in poor condition, despite reporting the issues? If your landlord hasn’t fixed the problems within a reasonable time, you could be entitled to compensation—and legal support to make sure the repairs are carried out.

At Legal HD, we help Islington tenants take action when their home becomes unsafe, unhealthy or uninhabitable due to unresolved repair issues. If your landlord isn’t listening, we will.

Is Your Home in Disrepair?

Housing disrepair covers a wide range of problems that landlords are legally obliged to repair. If you’ve reported issues and they haven’t been dealt with, you may have a valid claim.

Some of the most common disrepair issues in Islington include:

• Persistent damp or mould, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms
• Leaky plumbing or roofing causing internal water damage
• Broken boilers or no central heating during colder months
• Unsafe electrics including faulty sockets or exposed wiring
• Cracked walls or collapsing ceilings
• Infestations such as rats, mice, or cockroaches
• Drafty or broken windows and doors
• Kitchens and bathrooms in unusable condition

Even if the issue seems minor, if it’s affecting your health, safety, or quality of life, it should be taken seriously.

Can I Claim Compensation?

Yes. If your landlord—whether Islington Council or a housing association—has failed to fix the issue after being informed, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

You can claim for:

• Inconvenience and distress caused by the disrepair
• Damage to your belongings, like furniture, clothing, or electronics
• Additional costs, such as higher energy bills or alternative accommodation

We handle all claims on a no win, no fee basis, so you don’t pay a penny unless we successfully win your case.

Why Make a Disrepair Claim?

Far too many tenants in Islington continue to suffer in silence. Making a legal claim can:

• Force your landlord to complete the repairs promptly
• Help you recover compensation for the trouble caused
• Prevent further damage to your property
• Encourage better treatment of tenants across the borough

You deserve a safe, healthy place to live. If your landlord has failed to meet their responsibilities, legal action is often the only way to make things right.
