We handle housing disrepair claims through our sister site, Home Disrepair Claims, which is built for social housing tenants. You can tell us about the problems, upload photos, and we’ll pass your claim to a solicitor who specialises in housing disrepair.

Can you claim?

  • You rent from a council or housing association
  • You reported the problems to your landlord
  • They haven’t been fixed in a reasonable time
  • You haven’t already got a claim running with a solicitor

In England, since October 2025, Awaab’s Law has set legal deadlines for social landlords to investigate and fix serious damp and mould and emergency hazards.
