What is Housing Disrepair?

Housing disrepair refers to situations where a rented property has fallen into a state of disrepair, making it unsafe or uninhabitable. Common issues include:

• Damp and Mould: Persistent dampness or mould affecting walls, ceilings, or floors.
• Structural Damage: Cracks in walls, leaking roofs, or unstable foundations.
• Heating and Plumbing Issues: Broken boilers, faulty radiators, or plumbing leaks.
• Electrical Hazards: Unsafe wiring, broken sockets, or malfunctioning lights.
• Pest Infestations: Rats, mice, or insects caused by poor property maintenance.

If your landlord has neglected to fix these or similar problems after being notified, you have the right to take legal action.
