Compensation for Repairs Not Carried Out
If your landlord in England has been told about serious disrepair but has not put it right, you may be able to seek compensation as well as an order requiring the work. This can apply to problems such as damp, mould, unsafe heating, leaks, defective plumbing, or broken security features. Your rights depend on your tenancy, the type of repair, what your landlord knew, and the effect on your home and belongings. This guide explains how compensation claims work for renters and tenants, what evidence to collect, which official forms may help, and where to obtain support. Acting promptly and communicating clearly can improve your position while giving the landlord a fair opportunity to investigate and complete the repairs.
