Housing Conditions Affecting Sharston’s Residents
While cricket brings enjoyment to many households in Sharston and Manchester, some tenants have told us that their homes are affected by housing disrepair.
Common problems include:
- Damp and mould, often spreading across bedroom or kitchen walls
- Leaking roofs or pipes, causing ongoing water damage
- Structural cracks or unsafe flooring in older council homes
- Condensation and poor ventilation in mid-century flats
One Sharston resident even said they felt embarrassed going to cricket training because their kit smelled of damp from mould inside their wardrobe.
Landlords’ Responsibilities
Landlords including Manchester City Council, housing associations, and private landlords must maintain their properties under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018.
If you’ve reported repairs and nothing has been done, you may be eligible for legal support to help get the issues resolved and, in some cases, pursue compensation.
Each situation is unique, and a regulated solicitor will review your case before any claim proceeds.
