Our Housing Disrepair Solicitors Can Help You Claim Compensation

If you live in a rented property that has fallen into disrepair, you are likely to feel stressed and annoyed, particularly when your landlord is failing to fix the problem. It is a landlord’s responsibility to maintain a rented property for their tenants. Failure to do this could potentially lead to discomfort and, in extreme cases, health problems, for the tenant.

Our solicitors have a wealth of experience in providing legal advice to tenants whose home has fallen into disrepair. We will help you to communicate with your landlord to reach a fair agreement in your dispute.

If your landlord is failing to respond to your complaints, or refusing to repair your home, our team of expert housing disrepair solicitors can provide you with help and advice on what steps should be taken next. Call PDA Law today on 01244 757308 or complete our online contact form and we will be in touch.

Your Landlord’s Responsibilities

Upon the signing of the tenancy agreement, your landlord takes on certain responsibilities, including the maintenance of the property you are renting. This maintenance includes:

  • Carrying out repairs or replacing broken appliances
  • Ensuring the boiler is safe and working
  • Repairing gas or water leaks
  • Ensuring the house is free of mould or damp

If stated in the agreement, your landlord could also be held responsible for maintaining appliances, as well as your garden and other areas of your home.

Safety Risks

If your landlord fails to properly maintain your property to an acceptable standard, they are failing to meet health and safety standards. This can lead to health problems for tenants, including:

  • Asthma and respiratory issues caused by damp and mould
  • Falls, cuts and bruises caused by poorly maintained walls and floors
  • Fatalities due to gas leaks and electrical issues

If you or a member of your family has suffered from health complications due to a poorly maintained property, you should contact a legal expert as a matter of urgency.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Customers Say About Us

Quick & Responsive

Honestly I would recommend PDA for any agency/landlord deposit dispute. Jane was such a dream to work with and she got me a good compensation. She was quick and responsive throughout the whole process as well as transparent. She kept me in the loop with all correspondence with the agency/landlord. She also knows her stuff. Would recommend PDA law.

They provided us with realistic timescales

It was our first time we dealt with PDA law for our conveyancing. We were recommended to them by the Property agency. We are glad we had a good experience with PDA law, especially during lockdowns and Christmas period. They made sure, they had all the paper-work in place with all searches done in time. They provided us with realistic timescales, so that there is no disappointment towards the end. Looking forward to deal with them in the near future.
