When Landlords Ignore Disrepair: Your Legal Options Explained

Date when Video was Published: 10/07/2024

Script for the above Video

If your landlord does not take action to fix the disrepair in your rental property, despite your notifications and reasonable efforts to resolve the issue, you have several options to consider: 1. Contact your local council: Get in touch with your local council's environmental health department. They can inspect the property, identify the disrepair issues, and issue an improvement notice to your landlord, requiring them to make the necessary repairs. This notice carries legal weight and can compel the landlord to act. 2. Legal action: If your landlord still doesn't address the disrepair or the council does not take any action, you may need to take legal action. You can contact our specialist Housing solicitors who can provide you legal guidance, help you navigate the legal process, and represent your interests in court if necessary. The exact steps and options available may vary depending on the specific circumstances of your case. Consulting with a legal professional experienced in housing disrepair issues is essential to protect your rights and interests.
