If you’re renting a council or housing association property in Tower Hamlets and have been left waiting for repairs that never happen, it’s time to take action. You could be entitled to compensation for housing disrepair, and we’re here to help you claim it.

At Legal HD we support tenants across Tower Hamlets in holding landlords accountable when they fail to maintain homes to a safe and legal standard.

What is a Housing Disrepair Claim?

As a tenant, your landlord—whether that’s Tower Hamlets Council or a local housing association—is legally responsible for ensuring your home is maintained in good condition. When you report repairs and nothing happens, this may qualify as housing disrepair.

You could have a claim if you’ve experienced:

• Damp, mould or condensation
• Leaks from plumbing, roofs, or ceilings
• Broken heating or hot water systems
• Unsafe electrics like exposed wires or sockets
• Structural defects (e.g. cracked walls or damaged floors)
• Infestations caused by property neglect (e.g. mice, rats, cockroaches)
• Faulty windows, doors, kitchens or bathrooms

If you’ve already reported these issues to your landlord and they’ve failed to act within a reasonable timeframe, you may be eligible to seek both repairs and financial compensation.

What Can You Claim For?

Tenants in Tower Hamlets dealing with long-standing disrepair could receive compensation for:

• The stress, inconvenience and loss of enjoyment of your home
• Damage to your belongings, such as furniture or clothes
• Health problems worsened by damp or unsafe conditions
• Higher energy costs due to heating issues or poor insulation

We handle your claim on a no win, no fee basis, meaning there’s no financial risk to you.

Why Take Legal Action?

Many tenants feel ignored by their landlord or council, especially when repair requests go unanswered. Making a housing disrepair claim not only helps you, but also ensures landlords meet their legal responsibilities.

Taking action can:

• Force necessary repairs to be completed
• Secure you the compensation you’re legally entitled to
• Improve the safety and quality of your home
• Help prevent future neglect by holding landlords accountable

It’s not just about fixing damage—it’s about defending your right to live safely and with dignity.
