Structural Damage in Rental Properties: A Tenant's Guide
Identifying Structural Issues
Structural disrepair refers to damage to the fabric of the building. Common signs include:
- Large cracks in walls or ceilings
- Bulging walls or sagging roofs
- Uneven or rotting floorboards
- Loose roof tiles or gutters
Safety First
Structural issues can be dangerous. If you believe your home is unsafe, report it immediately. If the landlord ignores you, Environmental Health can intervene.
