When you make a housing disrepair claim, the court can order your landlord to carry out the repairs. As well as this, you may also be awarded compensation under several heads of loss, including:
Damage to Belongings
Compensation for any belongings damaged or destroyed as a result of the poor condition of the property. You may also be able to claim for items damaged during repairs carried out by your landlord.
Financial Loss
If you have suffered financial loss as a result of your landlord failing to carry out repairs, you may be able to claim for this. Please note that significant rent arrears can affect the outcome of your claim.
Personal Injury
If you have been injured as a result of your landlord's negligence, you could make a personal injury claim — for example respiratory problems caused by damp or mould, slip or trip injuries, or carbon monoxide exposure. Our panel can assist with medical reports, expert evidence and court proceedings.
Inconvenience
Compensation for general disruption to your daily life — including not being able to use parts of your home or having to wait long periods for repairs to be carried out.
