Frequently Asked Questions

Get quick answers to the most common questions about housing disrepair claims.

A housing disrepair claim is a legal action taken by a tenant against their landlord when the landlord has failed to carry out necessary repairs to the property. Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (Section 11), landlords are legally required to maintain the structure, exterior, and essential installations of rented properties.

The amount of compensation you receive depends on the severity of the disrepair, how long it has been present, its impact on your health and daily life, and any financial losses incurred. Our clients typically receive between £1,000 and £10,000+ in compensation.

No. It is illegal for a landlord to evict you as a result of making a housing disrepair claim. This is known as "retaliatory eviction" and is prohibited under the Deregulation Act 2015. Your tenancy is protected when you make a legitimate disrepair claim.

You can absolutely make a claim while still living in the property. In fact, it's often better to do so — you can claim compensation for the period you've already been living in disrepair and ensure the repairs are carried out as quickly as possible.

No. We handle claims against all types of landlords including private landlords, local councils, housing associations, and social housing providers. The legal obligations are the same regardless of who your landlord is.

Many claims are resolved within 3–6 months. Some urgent cases — particularly those involving health risks — can be resolved more quickly. Complex or contested cases may take longer. We'll keep you fully informed throughout the entire process.
