Housing Disrepair - Legal Aid

You could have a claim for repairs from your landlord if you are a tenant living in a rental that is in poor condition. You can discover that your home is harmed if your landlord has neglected to make repairs for flaws and defects or has not kept the property in excellent shape. Every landlord is required by law to keep the buildings exterior and interior in a decent state of repair. Health issues, both physical, and emotional, can result from disrepair. If the property is in disrepair and your landlord has not made the necessary repairs, you may choose to see a lawyer. Please be aware that if a client has a claim for housing deterioration, there will be no consultation fee assessed. We have a wealth of expertise representing clients who have been wronged by their landlords, particularly when dealing with private landlords, local governments, and housing associations. We recognize that filing a claim against your landlord may first seem intimidating, but we are here to make sure the procedure is as simple and stress-free as possible. We will walk you through the whole process, giving you the support you need at each stage.
 

You wont have to pay a charge up front if we help you with your home degradation issue since we work on a no-win, no-fee basis on the housing issue like:

  • Leaks
  • Mould
  • Damp
  • Cracking
  • Subsidence
  • Infestation
Since we rigorously adhere to a NO WIN NO FEE philosophy, there are no fees associated with filing a claim for home deterioration with us. We wont charge you anything if your claim is unsuccessful. The expense would be subtracted from your settlement if your claim is successful. This sum is limited to 5% of your overall remuneration. We w ll see to it that your landlord makes the necessary repairs and compensates you for any losses you have incurred as a result.
 
If the condition of your house has prevented you from using all or part of it, you may be eligible for a deduction or rent refund.

You and your family members may experience volatility and unpredictability due to homelessness, which can have a profound effect on your life. If you anticipate homelessness, we advise you to get in touch with us. We have helped a huge number of individuals with their applications for housing for the homeless. For the majority of our clients who contacted us for housing assistance, we have assisted them in finding suitable accommodation. Before you are about to be evicted from your existing housing, we can start discussions with your local authorities to find acceptable housing for you and your family.

The housing authority is required by law to offer guidance and information on homelessness, its prevention, and the rights of those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, as well as the assistance that is available from the housing authority or other sources and how to get it. Authorities can either offer the service directly or make arrangements for other organizations to do so on their behalf. The service should be created with a specific list of vulnerable groups in mind. If you believe you may soon become homeless, it is critical that you get in touch with us immediately.

To discuss your homelessness matter, please contact our office on 0203 161 5450 or submit our online application.
