Housing Association
If your property is owned by a housing association then you can make a claim against them. The law means that you can force the landlord to carry out reasonable repairs, if they have failed to carry out repairs that you have complained about.
You may also recover some compensation from them.
Housing Associations we advise on
Our specialist disrepair team can bring claims against any landlords in England and Wales, whether local councils, social housing authorities or private individuals/organisations.
What to do if you’re living in a poorly maintained housing association home
Make a complaint to your landlord as soon as possible. Make sure that you keep a record of your complaint such as the person you reported it to and the date. Please keep any emails or copies of submission forms you send/complete.
Take photographs of the disrepair and keep them safe.
If your landlord does not respond to your complaints in a reasonable time, then contact us, and we can take it from there.
