If your rented home is in poor condition and your landlord keeps ignoring your complaints, you may be eligible to make a housing disrepair claim. In the UK, tenants have strong legal rights to live in safe, habitable housing.
At Housing Disrepair Team UK, we help tenants claim compensation and ensure essential repairs are completed — all with no upfront cost and a no win, no fee guarantee.
What is a Housing Disrepair Claim?
A housing disrepair claim is a legal action you can take when your landlord fails to fix significant issues in your home. Common problems include:
- Damp and mould
- Leaks and water damage
- Broken heating or hot water systems
- Structural issues (cracks, unsafe flooring)
- Faulty electrics
- Infestations (rats, cockroaches, etc.)
If you've reported the problem and your landlord hasn't acted in a reasonable time, you're legally entitled to take action.
What Can You Claim For?
When you file a claim for housing disrepair, you may be entitled to:
- Repairs to the property
- Compensation for:
- Health issues caused by the disrepair
- Damage to belongings
- Emotional stress or discomfort
- Extra costs (e.g. heating or replacements)
What Evidence Do You Need?
A successful claim starts with the right documentation. Gather:
- Photos or videos of the disrepair
- Written communication with your landlord
- Medical reports (if affected)
- Receipts for damaged or replaced items
- Rent payment history
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
Compensation varies depending on:
- The severity of the problem

Typical payouts range from £1,000 to £10,000+ in serious or long-term cases.
