If you’re a tenant of Southwark Council or a local housing association, you shouldn’t have to live with unsafe, damp, or damaged conditions. If you’ve reported problems and your landlord has failed to act, you may be eligible to claim compensation—and legal help to make sure your home is finally repaired.

At Legal HD we help tenants across Southwark hold negligent landlords accountable. When your health, safety, or day-to-day life is being affected by housing disrepair, you have the right to take legal action—and we’ll help you every step of the way.

Why Southwark Tenants Are Taking Legal Action

Every day, tenants in Southwark are forced to live with damp, mould, faulty heating, and more—despite having reported the problems. When your landlord delays, denies, or ignores you, taking legal action can:

• Force the landlord to carry out essential repairs
• Help you secure compensation for the harm and inconvenience caused
• Protect your wellbeing, your finances, and your home
• Hold your landlord legally accountable

What Qualifies as Housing Disrepair?

If you’ve reported repair issues that haven’t been addressed in a reasonable time, and you live in council or housing association property in Southwark, you could be eligible to make a claim.

Some of the most common disrepair problems include:

• Black mould and damp, particularly in bedrooms or bathrooms
• Leaks from ceilings, pipes, or damaged roofing
• No heating or hot water, especially in colder seasons
• Unsafe electrical systems, flickering lights, or exposed wiring
• Pest infestations, such as rats, mice or cockroaches
• Cracks in walls, ceilings or damaged floors
• Broken windows or doors, making the property insecure
• Unusable kitchens or bathrooms due to faulty fixtures

What You Could Claim Compensation For

If your landlord has left you in poor housing conditions, you may be owed compensation for:

• Distress and inconvenience, including impact on your everyday life
• Damage to belongings, including clothing, furniture or electrical goods
• Extra costs, such as higher heating bills or replacing damaged items

Even if your landlord eventually carries out the repairs, you could still be compensated for the delay and the impact it had on your living situation.
