Housing disrepair

What is a housing disrepair dispute?

A housing disrepair dispute involves a disagreement between a landlord and tenant in relation to the condition of a rental property. Disagreements regarding the condition of the property relate to many different issues, which can often include heating or plumbing problems, structural concerns, mould, dampness, faulty electrics, and leaks.

When a property has not been properly maintained, this can lead to significant damage to the property, potential health and safety risks, and a tenant being unable to enjoy the property that they are renting. Everybody deserves a safe and comfortable place to live and there are rules in place to ensure that landlords keep their properties in a habitable condition for the safety of tenants.
