Damage to belongings – Compensation for any goods damaged or destroyed as a result of the property’s bad state. You can also file a claim for damage to your goods caused by your landlord’s repairs.
Financial loss – If you have faced financial loss as a result of your landlord’s failure to make repairs, you can make a claim.
Personal injury – If your landlord’s carelessness caused you harm, you may be able to file a claim for personal injury.
Inconvenience – compensation for difficulties such as general interruption to your everyday life, inability to utilise your house, or having to wait for repairs.
When you’re dealing with problems in your home that your landlord should fix but hasn’t, you might want to make what’s called a “housing disrepair claim.” Here are some simple tips to help you do that:
If your landlord isn’t fixing the problems after you’ve told them, you might be able to take legal action.
The first step in filing a housing disrepair compensation claim is to talk with a lawyer. You will need to give them evidence and explain the details of your claim. From there, they can arrange for a priority assessment to see your home and assess the damage. Keep in mind that your lawyer will notify your landlord that you want to file a Housing Disrepair Claim. In this manner, they might fix their assessor to examine the damages. You should never leave your landlord in the dark about a housing repair claim. Instead, let them have time to prepare. In this manner, the right procedures may be followed to review your claim and guarantee that a precise settlement agreement and repair plan can be arranged.
If you need to take legal action for housing problems, it can be expensive. But if your situation is really bad, you might get help paying for it through Legal Aid. This is only for serious cases where people’s health and safety are at risk.
If you can’t get Legal Aid, you’ll have to pay for it yourself. How much you pay depends on which court route you take. There are three: small claims, fast track, and multi-track.
If your claim is less than £10,000, it might go to small claims court. But if you’re asking for repairs costing less than £1000 and damages less than £1000, it could also go there.
If you win, your landlord might have to pay your costs.
The court fees can vary, and our lawyers can tell you more about what you’ll need to pay. Just call us at 0203 393 9267 to start your claim.
