What counts as housing disrepair?

Housing disrepair is a serious problem with a rented home that the landlord is responsible for fixing. Damp and mould, leaks, broken heating, unsafe electrics, pests and damaged windows or doors can all make a home unfit or unsafe.

Housing disrepair claim types

Damp and mould

Persistent damp, mould, condensation and poor ventilation affecting your home or health.

Structural problems and leaks

Roof leaks, water ingress, subsidence, damaged ceilings, walls or flooring.

Heating and plumbing

Broken heating, hot water, boilers, pipes, toilets or other essential services.

Electrical hazards

Unsafe wiring, faulty sockets, exposed cables or other dangerous electrics.

Pest infestation

Rats, mice, cockroaches or other infestations your landlord has failed to address.

Windows and doors

Broken locks, insecure doors, damaged windows or serious draughts.

Am I eligible?

You may have a claim if you are a council, housing association or private tenant, you reported the problem (or the landlord knew about it), and you or your household suffered harm, damage, financial loss or significant inconvenience. We can help assess your circumstances even if you are unsure about the evidence.

  • Tenant type: private, council or housing association
  • Notice: the landlord has been told or should have known
  • Impact: health, belongings, cost or inconvenience
  • Evidence: photos, messages, reports and repair history

What you can claim

Health and wellbeing

Compensation for illness or worsening health linked to poor housing conditions.

Belongings and financial loss

Damage to furniture, clothing or possessions, plus extra costs caused by the disrepair.

Inconvenience and repairs

Compensation for loss of use, disruption and the landlord’s failure to put things right.
