If you live in council-owned property, they are primarily responsible for attending to repairs such as small leaks or emergency fixes. If authorities have failed to take action on problems you reported, filing a claim may be an option worth considering.
Taking legal action might result in the court ordering the city to make said repair, as well as compensation for any expenses incurred.
Before going ahead with this process though, there are a few things you need mull over; namely confirming that 1) you did notify the council of the issue and 2) that they have not done anything about it thus far.
For a social housing tenant, a decent quality of life is expected. Our social housing disrepair staff can assist you in dealing with the problem and receiving the improvements as well as compensation for any losses or discomfort you have experienced. If there are issues with your housing association, it is critical that you take action right now. You might begin by submitting a complaint to the organization.
A housing association must be sure that the homes it offers are in good working order, and that any issues are promptly addressed. Otherwise, it could be held responsible and liable for compensation as a result of its actions or inaction.
Our professionals understand the physical, emotional, and financial strains that come from renting poorly-kept housing.

Council Tenant
We had been waiting for 12 months for the damp to be repaired by the council but got nowhere. We were told by a friend that this company could help and within 6 months we received compensation for damages & all the damp and mould was removed.
Types of Damages
When you file a Housing Disrepair Claim, you may be compensated with general or special damages. If your rent was paid while your house was being neglected, that amount may serve as the foundation for your claim. A percentage of what you paid in rent will be decided based on the severity of the disrepair.
The percentage of your rent you receive back largely depends on how inhabitable the property was. Inhabitability is rare, and most claims only result in 25%-50% of the rent you paid, whereas complete uninhabitability would grant you a 100% return.
If your rented property from the council or housing association has issues that have not been repaired, you may be eligible to make a housing disrepair claim.

In most cases, landlords are responsible for treating damp since your tenancy agreement probably includes language that they take care of exterior and structural elements in your home. If your landlord doesn’t mediate the mould situation in your apartment, you could be stuck with paying medical bills and replacing lost belongings.
You might be able to sue your landlord and receive compensation if your home is in such poor condition that it has caused you issues like electrical problems, dampness, or mildew. Additionally, there are some instances where you may get back money spent on repairs while the property was being fixed.
You may be able to make a claim if your landlord refuses to make repairs on your property that they are responsible for. You must have notified your local council or housing association landlord of the problem. You’ll need proof, and we can help you with this procedure. If your landlord has failed to correct the problem in a timely manner, you may seek compensation from them.
During your tenancy, you can file a housing disrepair claim either before or after it ends, but the person must do so within six years of giving notice to their landlord about the problem. Personal injury claims must be made within three years of getting notification.
Your landlord is not responsible for repairing faults caused by your carelessness or doing something wrong. Although we are property disrepair solicitors by profession, we do not currently accept private landlord claims since as a rule of thumb, if you have utilized a letting agent or your landlord is a person, we may not be able to assist you.
We specialize in filing claims against local councils, social housing providers, and housing associations. At this time, we are unable to accept complaints from renters against private landlords.
The procedure for claiming against your landlord can be complicated, which is why you will want the assistance of an attorney. If you wish to make a claim, the first thing you should do is contact a professional about your circumstances to see whether your case fits the requirements for one.
Before you file a claim, you must follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Conditions Claims. This procedure includes several steps that must be completed first.
If you don’t follow these procedures, you may be fined later on in the litigation process. To try and resolve the issue without going to court, your best bet is to set up an Alternative Dispute Resolution and submit an application to the county courthouse.

Every renter is entitled to a safe haven. If your landlord fails to maintain the property, you may be able to bring an injury claim if you have been injured, financially distressed, or unhappy as a result of the condition. A copy of the tenancy agreement, including any terms and conditions if necessary, would be appreciated.
If your landlord fails to fulfill their duty of ensuring that you are safe and comfortable in your home or apartment, you may sue them for failing to meet their responsibilities. Due to the poor living conditions, including compensatory damages for physical damage, we would generally file a personal injury claim at the same time.
We feel that everyone in the UK should be able to obtain competent and professional assistance for their housing disrepair problems, which is why we provide services on a no-win, no-fee basis. However, if you are a private tenant, you still have legal rights and should familiarize yourself with your tenants’ legislation before taking any formal action or obtaining advice from a company that specializes in representing private tenants with the legal fees paid out of pocket.
If your case fails, on the other hand, you will not be charged for our housing attorneys’ services. You won’t have to pay any up-front costs if your case wins; instead, the payment will be taken off of your financial compensation.
A “no win no fee basis,” commonly known as a “conditional fee agreement,” is an arrangement in which you are guaranteed that if you lose your case, you will not owe anything (i.e., there will be no legal costs). We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and we are neither middlemen nor a claims management company, so working with us directly guarantees that you will receive the greatest possible service.
If a tenant reports problems with their housing to their landlord, they can make what is called a housing disrepair claim. The landlord must be given time to fix the issues before the tenant can file for compensation, but if repairs are not made in a timely manner, then the housing disrepair claim can be filed.
If you reside in a council home, social housing, or a housing association property, your landlord is required by law to ensure that your living quarters are safe and functional. It is the responsibility of the landlord to provide you with a decent standard of living if your house degrades or necessitates improvements so that it may be lived in safely and comfortably.
If a property is in disrepair, this means that it requires repairs for it to be determined safe and suitable to live in. This typically applies to rented homes and any other type of rented accommodation.
