Housing Disrepair

As a Council or Housing Association tenant, you have the legal right to live in a safe, well-maintained, and habitable home. Your landlord is legally responsible for ensuring your property is free from disrepair and meets health and safety standards.

If your Council or Housing Association has failed to carry out essential repairs after you’ve reported them, you may be eligible to file a housing disrepair claim.
