If your landlord has failed to keep your home in a safe and habitable condition, you may be entitled to compensation. A home disrepair claim is a legal process that holds landlords accountable for not maintaining their properties. This can include issues such as structural problems, mould, damp, broken heating systems, and other hazards.
As a tenant, you have the right to a home that meets health and safety standards. If your landlord ignores repair requests or fails to fix problems within a reasonable time, you can claim compensation for the inconvenience, damage to your property, and any health issues you’ve suffered as a result.

You can claim for issues such as damp and mould, broken heating systems, leaks, electrical faults, structural problems, and other hazards that affect your safety or health.
Compensation depends on several factors, including the severity of the disrepair, the length of time it’s been unresolved, and the impact it has had on your health and well-being. Compensation can cover personal injury, inconvenience, and damage to belongings.
Most claims are resolved within 6-12 months, but the timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the case and how quickly your landlord responds.
Even if your landlord begins repairs after you start a claim, you may still be entitled to compensation for the period during which the disrepair existed.
If you’re living in a home that is in disrepair and your landlord isn’t taking action, don’t wait. You deserve to live in safe, comfortable conditions—and we can help you get the repairs and compensation you’re entitled to.
