Frequently Asked Questions

You may file a claim if the disrepair in your house was 100% avoidable, but your landlord’s negligence resulted in compromised habitat. Additionally, it would be best if you showed that your landlord knowingly failed to take action to address the disrepair.

The first step is to contact your landlord or housing association and request repairs. If they fail to make the requested repairs within a reasonable time, you can start a housing disrepair claim. 

  • Claim for damaged belongings within six years of tenancy.
  • Apply for repairs during your tenancy to ensure landlord take action.
  • Claim for injuries or illness from disrepair within three years.

You must prove that your landlord was aware of the property’s disrepair through repeated notifications. Typically, housing disrepair solicitors will collect and evaluate:

  • Physical evidence, such as photographs documenting the disrepair.
  • Communication evidence, such as emails and text messages indicating notifications sent to the landlord.
  • Information from other tenants who may have experienced similar issues.
  • Detailed examination of the property itself.

Before initiating a housing disrepair claim, it is important to notify your landlord at least 21 days in advance via email, text message, in person, or by letter. If your landlord responds to your notification, you must allow them a reasonable amount of time to complete the repairs. If they fail to do so, start your housing disrepair claim right away.
