As a tenant, you can expect your landlord to address any rising damp issues. This is because tenancy agreements typically contain an implied term that requires the landlord to keep up with internal & structural repairs of your home.

A housing disrepair claim can cover a variety of problems, from damp and mildew to electrical faults and structural decay. Does the condition of your house have you feeling frustrated and out-of-pocket? If so, there may be a way to seek financial compensation from your landlord. Depending on the circumstances, it is also possible to reclaim rent payments made during repairs.

Acting fast is always the best when making a housing disrepair claim, as earlier action makes it easier to obtain evidence and fix responsibility. Moreover, there may be statutory time limits that you need to stay aware of; for instance, if your case involves personal injury claims then they must be dealt with in good time. If you think that any illness or health problems have been caused by mould present at home, seek legal advice immediately about claiming compensation.

Have you noticed an unsightly amount of mould and damp in your home? The leading cause is most likely due to an excess of moisture. This could be caused by a variety of sources, such as leaking pipes, damage that allows water inside from the roof or windows, or even newly built homes with insufficient drying time. Taking these elements into account can help you determine the true source so it can be addressed quickly.

As mandated by English law, your landlord must ensure you have access to a reliable source of hot water or heat at all times. As a tenant, you have the right to central heating or space-heating apparatus in every room of your home. You also deserve access to boiling water whenever necessary.

As a tenant, you have the right to expect your landlord to responsibly maintain all hot water and heating systems as well as appliances that they have set up. Furthermore, it is essential for these devices to be in proper working order; if any problems arise with the heaters or other related equipment within your rental property, then it is incumbent on them to promptly repair and pay for necessary maintenance expenses.

As a landlord, you are responsible for ensuring your rental property is well maintained. This covers all installations from water to heating systems and drainage pipes, as well as sanitary fittings like gas and electricity. If there is any issue with water leakage in the home under your care, it’s up to you to effectively address the problem promptly.

As a landlord, it is essential to guarantee that the home is safe and suitable for renters. If water damage has been caused by a leak from any pipes or other sources within the rental property, you as the landlord are responsible for fixing this issue before your tenants can move in. Additionally, landlords cannot terminate their tenant’s tenancy until they have taken care of all repair issues they are responsible for addressing. Although your property may be secure and meet all of the necessary requirements for human residence, if you sense that the landlord has not taken care of an issue which makes it unsuitable to meet your family’s needs, then you have grounds to act. On rare occasions, this might mean leaving before the end date in your tenancy agreement.

Although rental agreements may state that tenants are responsible for repairs, it is ultimately the duty of Council & Housing association landlords to bear the cost and manage exterior repairs such as damage to windows or doors.. Damaged or broken windows and doors can lead to many issues, including damp and mould, and can also be a safety risk.

Landlords should ensure that external windows and doors can close and that they are damp and draught-proof. They should fix any eroded sealants, broken door handles or locks, rotten window frames, faulty hinges or broken glass.

The landlord is required by law to make most external and structural repairs to the leased property under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. This obligation is found in Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, which applies to all sorts of necessary repairs, including those that impact the property’s structure or aesthetic appeal.

As a tenant, it is the landlord’s duty to take care of any potential safety issues with both the property and its surroundings. While your tenancy agreement may include basic maintenance such as replacing light bulbs, structural repairs are not typically on you. Your landlord should cover all costs associated with these matters.
