Poor housing conditions in council and housing association properties can seriously affect the health and wellbeing of children and families. From damp-related respiratory illnesses to unsafe electrics, these issues can have long-term consequences. Here’s how social housing disrepair claims can help.
How Disrepair Affects Families
Problems like damp, mould, and cold living conditions can lead to illnesses, missed school days, and increased stress for parents. The longer repairs are delayed, the worse these effects become.
Landlord Responsibilities
By law, landlords must carry out essential council housing repairs to keep properties safe. Failure to meet these obligations may mean you can claim compensation for housing disrepair.
What You Can Claim For
Tenants may be able to recover costs for:
- Health impacts on children
- Damage to belongings
- Increased heating bills
- General inconvenience
Getting Legal Help
A housing disrepair solicitor can help you gather evidence and submit your case — often on a no win no fee disrepair claims basis.
