housing disrepair claim

Housing Disrepair

The UK does not currently have a number of homes to meet the demand for secure and affordable accommodation. This can lead to a further demand on properties under council control and or housing association control. The English Housing Survey states 3 in 10 people are living in bad housing. In actual figures that equate to 3.6million children, 9.2 million working age adults and 2 million pensioners.

Your home should be a safe refuge and to live in, many landlords fall short of their obligation especially when you may have requested repairs to be carried out on a number of occasion.
