Your Right to Timely, Proper Repairs
As a tenant in the UK, you have the legal right to live in a home that is safe, warm and free from serious hazards. Landlords are required by law to carry out essential repairs within a reasonable timeframe — especially when issues affect your health or safety.
But too often, repair requests are ignored or delayed.
By starting a housing disrepair claim, you not only put pressure on your landlord to act, but you also increase the likelihood that repairs will be completed to the proper legal standard — and done sooner.
Making a claim isn't just about compensation. It's about getting the support you need to live comfortably and safely in your home.
