If you rent from a housing association and they have failed to fix damp, mould, leaks or heating problems, you could claim compensation and force the repairs. Housing associations are social landlords with clear legal duties, and they have to keep your home safe and in good repair. The check is free and will not affect your tenancy.
Housing associations have to keep your home in repair
Housing associations must meet the same standards as any landlord under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018. They are also regulated as social landlords, so they usually have clear repair timescales and a complaints process.
If you have followed that process, or you have simply reported the problem and been ignored, and the disrepair is still there, you may have a claim.
Damp and mould: Awaab’s Law applies
Awaab’s Law, brought in after a child died from mould in social housing, sets strict deadlines for social landlords, including housing associations, to investigate and fix damp and mould. If your association has left you living with mould, do not accept it. Check your claim.
What you could be owed
- Compensation for the stress and disruption of living with the problem
- Damaged belongings: furniture, carpets and clothing
- Extra costs, such as higher energy bills from a cold or damp home
- Any effect on your health or your family’s health
Keep paying your rent throughout. Withholding rent can risk your home. You recover money through a compensation claim instead.
