Water damage advice
If there is a leak in your property, then it is important that you report this as soon as possible. Leaks can be catastrophic and can cause a huge amount of damage to your property and personal belongings. Most landlords will deal with live leaks quickly, but if they don’t, then you should get legal advice as soon as possible to minimise the damage caused. Even small leaks can cause thousands of pounds worth of damage if left untreated.
What to do if you are renting a property with water damage
1. Make a complaint
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.
2. Capture Evidence
Take photographs of the disrepair and keep them safe.
3. Make a claim
If your landlord does not respond to your complaints in a reasonable time, then contact us, and we can take it from there.
