Housing disrepair claims can be made either
during your tenancy or after your tenancy,
however, you must make the claim within 6 years
of the date that you provided notice to your
landlord about the disrepair. Personal injury
claims must be made within 3 years of received
notice. Its important to note that your
landlord may not be responsible for repairs
including repair faults if they are a result of
you either not taking care of the property
properly or doing something unreasonable. We
currently do not accept private landlord claims,
as a rule of thumb if you have used a letting
agent or your landlord is an individual we may
not be able to assist you.
