Landlord repairs
Landlord responsibilities for repairs and tenant rights
In
most cases if you live in a rented
house then your landlord
is
responsible for the repairs. You,
the tenant, are usually only responsible for decorations, and for putting right any
damage you have caused.
Landlords are almost always responsible for repairs to the following regardless of what your landlord tells you:
- The structure and outside of the building e.g. 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
- 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 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.
