Disrepaired homes
Housing Associations, Local Councils and Landlords are required by law to ensure that the property is kept in good repair.
When the property is in a state of disrepair, one of our panel of experts might be able to help you by taking action on your behalf under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
The Act covers all shorthold and secure tenancies, whether the property is owned by a social landlord i.e. Local Authorities and Housing Associations, or a private landlord, which could be an individual landlord or a company.
