Making A Claim Against Your Landlord
Is your home in a state of disrepair? Have you suffered serious health problems as a result? It is important that you are aware that help is available to ensure you have a safe home for habitation.
To make a claim against your landlord or housing association, you will need legal support from housing disrepair solicitors who are well experienced in handling such claims. However, there are key elements to bear in mind as you decide to make a compensation claim against your landlord.
The following criteria must be satisfied, subject to which your disrepair claim will be valid;
You must be living as a tenant in an apartment
Your apartment is in a state of disrepair despite several complaints
You have suffered discomfort. Inconvenience, health challenges, financial losses, property loss and much more due to the disrepair
Your landlord has failed to do the needful to see that you live comfortably
You are being harassed by your landlord
You have been Illegally evicted or you are threatened with illegal eviction
You are being discriminated against; example charging you higher rent because of your nationality, race, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
Your landlord would not return your deposit as agreed
These and more could be reasons why you want to make a claim against your landlord and this is where we can help
However, it is important that you make certain moves first before making a claim. Taking legal actions against your landlord should be the last option after every other measure to resolve the issue has failed.

Actions You Can Take
Speak with your landlord and clearly communicate your challenges. You may take another person with you if you think that it will help you better.
Make a formal complaint by writing a letter to your landlord if speaking or emailing your landlord failed to yield positive results. Be clear in your letter and include as much evidence as you can.
Complain to your local council if your landlord continues to fail to solve the problem. The local council can help with complaints about disrepairs that cause a health and safety risk, illegal eviction, harassment or unfair behavior.
Contact your lawyer to help you take legal actions when all these measures have failed.
