If your landlord has failed to keep your home safe and habitable, you may be entitled to make a claim. Landlords have a legal duty of care to maintain their properties to a reasonable standard. When they neglect this duty, tenants can suffer from health problems, financial losses, or even serious injuries.
This forum is designed to help tenants across the UK:
✅ Share experiences of landlord negligence.
✅ Ask questions about your rights as a tenant.
✅ Learn what steps you can take if your landlord ignores repair requests.
✅ Get guidance on making a claim for compensation.
What is landlord negligence?
Examples include:
- Failing to repair leaking roofs, broken heating, or faulty electrics.
- Ignoring issues with damp, mould, or infestations.
- Unsafe communal areas or stairwells.
- Not complying with gas, fire, or electrical safety standards.
When these problems are left unresolved, they can lead to illness, injury, or damage to personal belongings.
Can I make a claim?
You may be able to claim compensation if:
You reported the issue to your landlord, but no action was taken.
Their negligence caused you harm (health issues, injury, stress) or financial loss.
