Housing disrepair in Lowestoft: your questions answered

How much compensation could I get in Lowestoft?
The amount depends on how severe the disrepair is and how long your landlord ignored it. Payouts account for ruined furniture, clothes, stress and higher heating bills. Every case is different, so checking your details is the best first step.
What if my landlord says the damp is my fault?
Landlords often blame tenants for condensation, but structural issues, poor insulation or leaking pipes usually cause severe damp and mould. If you reported the problem and the landlord did not inspect it properly, you can still check your claim.
