Can you claim housing disrepair compensation in Manchester?

Damp, mould and broken heating make life miserable for Manchester tenants. If you reported these problems to your landlord and nothing was done, you could be owed compensation. We help you check your housing disrepair claim fast on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Manchester weather brings plenty of rain, making damp and mould even worse in poorly maintained homes. From terrace houses to high-rise flats, Manchester City Council and local housing associations must fix leaks, faulty heating and rot. If your landlord leaves you living in bad conditions, you can stand up for your rights and check if you can claim compensation.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Manchester?

Regardless of where you live in Manchester, whether you rent from the council or a housing association, you are protected by the law in England and Wales. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 states that your home must be:

  • Structurally sound and free from instability.
  • Free from serious damp and mould growth.
  • Equipped with functioning heating and hot water systems.
  • Safe from hazards like faulty wiring or gas leaks.

If your Manchester landlord fails to meet these standards, you can claim compensation.
