    Living in a property with damp, mould, leaks or other serious disrepair can have a major impact on your health, your family and your quality of life.

    If your landlord has ignored repeated reports of repairs, you may be able to make a housing disrepair claim and recover compensation for the inconvenience, damage and distress you’ve suffered.

    Many tenants continue living with dangerous conditions because they believe nothing can be done. However, landlords have a legal duty to keep their properties in a safe and habitable condition.
