Your Landlord’s Responsibilities
Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, landlords must keep rented properties safe, warm, and structurally sound.
If you’ve reported repairs and your landlord hasn’t acted, you may be eligible for legal support to help get repairs carried out and, in some cases, seek compensation.
Each situation is different, and a regulated solicitor will assess your circumstances before any claim begins.
