  compensation for damage to your possessions,

• What is a state of disrepair?
• We would generally say that you are living in a
  state of housing disrepair liverpool if your
  house or flat has not been maintained properly by
  your landlord, to the extent that repairs are
  needed urgently. There might be significant
  damage to just one room, or to multiple rooms in
  your home. You may even be completely unable to
  use rooms in your property because of the
  disrepair. You might have suffered damage to your
  personal belongings, such as your clothes or
  furniture, or your health.
• Disrepair covers a lot of issues, including most
  structural defects, mould and damp, gas or water
  leaks, vermin or pest problems, faulty central
  heating and a lack of hot water. Many of these
  disrepair issues are linked, so can occur as a
  result of one another. They can also cause health
  issues, destroy your possessions and ultimately
  make your home unfit to live in.
• Our housing solicitors are here to help anyone
  living in council and social housing that is
  facing these kind of issues with neglect and
  disrepair in their home.

Housing disrepair and health and safety
Structural damage, mould and damp, water and gas
leaks, vermin control issues and no heating or
hot water can all make your property dangerous
and uncomfortable to live in. In theory none of
these problems should ever occur because your
landlord has a responsibility to take care of
serious issues when they start to develop.
However, unfortunately some landlords neglect
their duties and leave tenants living in unfit
conditions for long periods of time.
