Claiming for Housing Disrepair on a No Win No Fee Basis: A Guide for Housing Association Tenants

Living in a home that is in disrepair can significantly impact your quality of life. As a housing association tenant, you have the right to live in a safe and habitable environment. If your housing association fails to address necessary repairs, you may be entitled to make a claim. At Universa Law solicitors, we understand the complexities of housing disrepair claims and offer a no win no fee service to help you seek the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Housing Disrepair

Housing disrepair refers to conditions in a property that require maintenance or repair to ensure it is safe and suitable for living. Common issues include:

• Damp and mould
• Structural defects
• Leaking roofs
• Faulty heating systems
• Electrical hazards
• Broken windows or doors

These issues can lead to health problems, increased living costs, and overall discomfort. Housing associations are legally obliged to maintain the property and carry out necessary repairs in a timely manner.

Your Rights as a Tenant

As a tenant of a housing association, you have the right to:

• Live in a property that is safe and in good repair
• Have essential repairs carried out within a reasonable time
• Be compensated for any damage or inconvenience caused by disrepair

If your housing association fails to fulfill these obligations, you can make a claim for housing disrepair.

Making a Claim: The Process

1. Document the Disrepair: Keep detailed records of the disrepair, including photographs, correspondence with the housing association, and any impact on your health or finances.
2. Notify Your Housing Association: Report the disrepair to your housing association and allow them reasonable time to address the issues.
3. Seek Legal Advice: If the housing association fails to act, contact a solicitor experienced in housing disrepair claims.
4. Assessment and Claim: Your solicitor will assess the situation, gather evidence, and file a claim on your behalf.
5. No Win No Fee: Our no win no fee arrangement means you don’t pay any legal fees unless your claim is successful. This provides peace of mind and access to justice without financial risk.
