Tenant rights and landlord responsibilities

HousingIn most instances landlords are responsible for repairs. Tenants are usually only responsible for decorations, and for putting right any damage they have caused. 

As recognised experts in this field we can help you to enforce your rights and get repairs done. You may also be able to claim compensation if there has been a delay in carrying out the repairs, or if you, or anyone living with you has been injured as a result of the disrepair.

Landlords are almost always responsible for repairs to the following regardless of what your landlord tells you:

The structure and exterior of the building - such as the walls, roof, external doors and windows, sinks, baths, toilets and other sanitary fittings, including pipes and drains, heating and hot water appliances, gas appliances, pipes, flues and ventilation and electrical wiring. They are also responsible for putting right any damage to internal decorations that was caused by the disrepair or while repairs they are responsible for are carried out.

As recognised experts in this field we have helped thousands of tenants to enforce their rights and get repairs done.
