Housing Disrepair

Housing disrepair means a rented property that is in need of repair in order for it to be safe and suitable for tenants to live in. If you are a tenant living in a Council or Housing Association property, your landlord is required by law to ensure that:

  • The house you live in is in a good state of repair structurally
  • Your house is free from damp and mould
  • Your drains and gutters are clear and working as they should be
  • You have a working heating system
  • You have safe access to electricity, gas, and water
  • You have working sanitation facilities such as toilet, basins, sinks, etc.
  • Your home is free from vermin or insect infestation

What repairs constitute housing disrepair?

Housing disrepair can include damp, mould, condensation, leaks, drainage, flooding (internal and external i.e., the garden), re-pointing of brickwork, missing or loose tiles, structural cracks, insect and vermin infestation, poor ventilation, boiler issues, no running or hot water or heating.

Housing disrepair responsibility falls to the landlord whether you’re a social tenant living in either a housing association or council owned properties.

Nobody should have to accept poor living conditions. The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation Act) means that repairs are now contractual, and any breach of contract allows the tenant to take legal action.
