What is a housing disrepair claim?

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.
