What is Housing Disrepair?

Housing disrepair refers to the condition of a rented property that has not been properly maintained. If your landlord has failed to fix issues you’ve reported, they may be in breach of their legal responsibilities. Common disrepair issues include:

Damp and mould
Leaks or water damage
Faulty heating or hot water
Broken windows or doors
Structural damage
Unsafe electrics or plumbing

Your landlord is legally required to ensure your home is safe, secure, and in a good state of repair.
