What do I need to know about Housing Disrepair Claims?

Let’s start off this blog with a little information about Housing Disrepair Claims in general. When you move into a council house or property from the housing association, your landlord is responsible for the upkeep of your house. This includes the exterior, interior, balcony, garden and garage. They are also responsible for any essential equipment or furniture that they have allowed you to use in your home. If any of it breaks down, they need to be the authority that fixes it. If they fail to do so, that could be a sign of negligence. Some examples of negligence can include:

• Ignoring your requests for help
• Becoming angry that you need help
• Your landlord making the disrepairs much worse
• You being asked to pay for the repair work

With that said, here is a little guidance on what you should do if you do end up suffering from a housing disrepair claim. You should give your landlord a month’s notice and let them know about the disrepairs through writing and electronic correspondence. Here is what you need to do:

Your landlord owes you a “duty of care”, therefore, they are responsible for your safety whilst you live in the house. If they fail to do this, and you end up getting hurt or the disrepair gets worse, you could be owed compensation as well as the repairs. In some cases, you could be owed up to £20,000 in compensation. This all depends on your damages, the damages of your house and how long your landlord has left your disrepairs for.

Damaged Heating: How could this pose a problem for me?

Your heating is practically the heart of your home. Now that we are experiencing terrible weather due to the upcoming storms, the cold could enter your house and leave you facing extreme heating bills. If you have vulnerable adults or young children in your home, you may find that they could get ill due to the cold and lack of heat inside your house.

There are a range of heating appliances that may break down and cause problems within your house. This includes radiators, heated piping, heated flooring or even your boiler. You may find that it is difficult to charge up heated products or that you cannot produce hot water.

Eventually, you may find that your house becomes too uncomfortable to live in without using your own transportable radiators or heaters. This has caused you general inconvenience and you may find that it is practically impossible to stay in your home. Due to the cold, it may be impossible to take baths or showers, and you may be forced to go out to a friend’s house or a nearby gym to get cleaned up. You should be able to do this in your own home. If your house fails to live up to a habitable standard, you could be owed compensation due to the negligence of your landlord. You didn’t deserve to get hurt and it is necessary that the damaged heating system is fixed as quickly as possible.

What should I do if my house has a damaged heating system?

If your heating system is electric then you should unplug it and turn the power off. That way there is less risk of a further disrepair occurring. If it is a boiler system, it is likely that there may also be a leak if there is a problem with the system entirely. Try to switch everything off. It may be cold but at least there will not be as many disrepairs that you will have to sort out. You may also have to put towels around your boiler if it is leaking.

The important thing to do in this situation is to retain as much heat as you can in at least one room of your house. Cover cold surfaces, such as seats and toilet seats, and try to keep your family all in one room. That way your body heat will warm up the area. You should also put on as many layers as possible. Makes sure to move any portable heating systems into the one room and provide blankets and hot water bottles.

If you are finding your house uninhabitable, it’s important that you go to a friend or a family member’s house. They may be able to let you wash yourself up and get warm. You can even find these type of facilities at gyms. So, pack fresh clothes and get yourselves warmed up. That way you can wait for the repairs to be made before you return to your accommodation.

Try your best to keep warm during this difficult time. If your landlord refuses to help with a broken heating system, the lawyers at Gowing Law will do their best to assist you.

What should I do if I have a faulty heating system?

We understand that it can be extremely stressful if your landlord is refusing to help with your housing disrepair. That’s why it’s time for you to make a Housing Disrepair Claim. You deserve to feel good about your home and feel comfortable in it during the Christmas season. If they refuse to help, you need to get started on your case with the help of a solicitor. Your solicitor can help you collect your evidence and speak to your landlord on your behalf. They can also set up the visit from a triage assessor.

If you are planning on making a housing disrepair, you can expect the following to happen:

Your solicitor will do their best to help you claim your compensation. At the same time, your triage assessor will be looking into the disrepairs. That way you can get both of them sorted out. You will always be kept updated about what is happening and how your claim is progressing.

What should I know about Housing Disrepair Claims?

When you make any type of housing disrepair claim, it is important to understand that you are making it because your house is suffering from damages. In a perfect world, all landlords would be there to sort out your disrepairs as quickly as possible. Of course, you do need to give them enough notice to actually get the disrepairs sorted. This should be around one month. If they act negligently, they are breaking their “duty of care” towards you. They are responsible for the safety of you and any other people that are living in your house. Their negligence can come in many forms if you have suffered from a housing disrepair. This can include:

• Ignoring all of your requests for help with the disrepair
• Becoming aggressive with you because of the damages
• Demanding that you help with paying for the repair work
• Trying to repair the disrepairs and making them worse.

If you are suffering from disrepairs in your house, and your landlord refuses to get them repaired, it’s time for you to make a housing disrepair claim. Therefore, you could be eligible for a claim if the disrepair falls into one of three categories in terms of its damages.

Eligibility includes:

Your solicitor will take a look at all of your damages and help you figure out how much you could be owed by your landlord. In some cases, you could be owed up to £20,000. You can use this to help you recover from any injuries or to help you regain your quality of life. At the same time, your solicitor will send over a triage assessor to your house to ensure that the extent of your damages has been assessed. That way you can feel confident that you are going to get all of the disrepairs sorted out and that nothing will be missed that could come back as a future damage.

How did your window end up getting broken?

There are a range of reasons why and how your window ended up getting broken. In some cases, it may have been due to the negligence or actions of other people. Perhaps a neighbour accidently smashed it or you experienced a criminal trying to break into your house. However, your house may be very old and in need of repair work. If the glass of your door or house has broken due to age, it’s likely that your landlord will have to pay for it to be replaced. Your broken glass could have also been destroyed due to natural weather.

Heavy winds or hail may have destroyed the glass of your home. You may have even found that it became weaker due to condensation, mould, damp or even animals trying to break through tiny chips and cracks. Even the temperature can have an effect on glass as it can cause it to expand and contract, meaning that it’s likely that it will end up breaking. As you can see, there are a range of ways that you may have ended up experiencing a disrepair.

What should I do if my house suffers from a disrepair?

Try not to panic if your house has suffered from a broken glass window. Glass can be dangerous, especially for small children, but you can get it fixed quickly. Be careful around the damage. Glass can be extremely sharp and you may find that you end getting hurt because of the pointy and jagged edges. If you are afraid of going near it, wear gloves and make sure to wear something on your feet. You can even wear goggles if that will make you feel better. Warn everyone about the broken window and keep your family away from it. Then you can sweep up the shards of glass and hoover the area. Small specks of glass can get stuck in your carpet. Therefore, you need to be extra careful no one stands on it.

If someone does end up standing on the glass, you can pull it out with tweezers. However, if it cannot be removed and sterilized by yourself, you may have to go to hospital to have a specialist remove it. With that said, if everyone is safe, and the broken glass has been picked off the ground, you should focus on the hole that has been left behind. You may feel nervous about a hole in your window. It could pose a security risk or make your house a lot colder. Therefore, your heating bills may end up getting higher.

Make sure to block off the hole until a repair worker is sent to your house. This could be with cardboard or foam. Therefore, you can feel confident that you can keep your family safe. It will also give you some privacy from the outside world.

Sorting out a Housing Disrepair Claim about Broken Windows

If your window has broken, this could pose a threat to you and your family. Your landlord has a responsibility to make sure that you do not get hurt from this type of disrepair. Therefore, they should send someone over to inspect your house and the damages. That way they can judge for themselves what sort of repair work you are going to need. If they fail to help you, it’s time to get started with a housing disrepair claim.

Not only can Gowing Law Solicitors work with your landlord on your behalf, they can fill out any paperwork that you may find tricky. Your lawyer will focus on getting you the compensation that you deserve and help you sort out your evidence. This includes any photographs, videos, witness statements and receipts. You may be owed a lot more compensation due to emotional and financial damages. So, make sure to let your solicitor know about them. You don’t have to be scared about making a claim. You cannot be evicted from your property just for asking for disrepairs to be sorted out. Your lawyer is here to make sure your house is comfortable for you and your family to live in. You deserve to be comfortable for Christmas.

What do I need to know about Housing Disrepairs?

When you make a housing disrepair claim, it’s important to understand that it is there to protect you against damages inside your council home or property from the housing association. Your landlord is responsible for the upkeep of your house. This includes the interior, exterior, balconies, garages and garden. Unfortunately, a lot of council properties are very old, therefore they may be suffering from damages that make them vulnerable to mould, damp, security and fire risks. This is due to the fact that many were built in the 1960’s or 1980’s.

Your landlord needs to take any complaints that you have about your housing disrepair seriously. When you entered your house, you went into a contract with your landlord. Therefore, they owe you a “duty of care.” If they fail to acknowledge your complaint, or do anything to make it worse, they could be guilty of negligence. This is when they could be liable for any damages that you have experienced.

Examples of negligence can include:

You should give your landlord at least one month’s notice before you put in your complaint. That way you can prove that you did everything you could to try and get the housing disrepairs sorted yourself. This includes writing letters to your landlord and taking photographs and videos as evidence. You may also want to have people come in to look at the disrepairs so you can collect witness statements.

Housing Disrepairs & Criminal Activity

In most cases, the disrepairs in your home are most likely to be caused by the age of the house itself. It was not your fault that the house fell into a state of disrepair. Sometimes, the disrepairs can be caused by other people in your neighbourhood. This includes through criminal activity due to inadequate security around your house. Your landlord should be providing security in your home through:

• Working locks and bolts
• Secure windows and entrances
• CCTV
• Security staff
• Working alarm system

Of course, every building is going to have different levels of security. For a flat, they may opt for a reception with a security guard, however for houses, you may just have a security camera. Check around your house to try out the locks and bolts to make sure you feel safe. You may need to have certain security features replaced or reinstalled. If you do feel unsafe in your house, you may have to end up taking your own precautions or investing in security, otherwise you may end up experiencing the following criminal incidents:

If you have a home invasion, you may find that the criminal ends up damaging your home in the process. Not only can this be traumatic for you, but you may find that there are a number of housing damages because of the burglary or act of vandalism. You need to speak to your landlord if you do end up experiencing housing disrepairs due to a criminal action as soon as possible. That way you can ask for help and potentially be moved to different accommodation to ensure your safety.

Housing Disrepairs: What should I do if I experienced vandalism or criminal activity?

The first thing you need to do if your home has been invaded is not to panic. Don’t explore the house and don’t go looking around for a criminal. Instead, get yourself to safety. You should then phone the police to go look around your house and to assess what has happened. When they have deemed it safe, you can go in to the house to look at the damages. However, we would recommend that you look for alternative accommodation until it has been deemed safe to return.

You should let your landlord know about the criminal activity as soon as possible. Although this not their fault, you do need to alert your landlord about what has been destroyed. You should speak to CIRCA if you have experienced any personal injuries or damages to your belongings. You might be able to claim compensation even if you do not know who was responsible to the damages to your house.

What could I make a compensation for with a Housing Disrepair Claim?

If your house has been damaged due to vandalism, it’s important that you speak to your solicitor as quickly as possible. They are responsible for your safety. In some cases, they may be responsible for any damages you have experienced because they did not install the right security for your house. Therefore, your damages were due to their negligence. In this case, your compensation may come from CIRCA rather than the landlord. This is due to the fact that they are not responsible for criminal injuries. However, for any damages to your home or personal injuries that you suffer, your landlord should be trying to get them fixed as quickly as possible. You could be eligible for a housing disrepair claim, if your claim falls into one of these categories:

Vandalism claims can get complicated, however you can ask for your landlord to step up to get any issues sorted out within your home. Even if you do not know who was responsible for any stolen property or damages to the interior and exterior of your home, your landlord should work to get them fixed. This includes any cleaning services that you need to get your house back up to scratch. If your landlord refuses to help, Gowing Law can help. We can have our solicitors work on your claim, and we can send over a triage assessor to look at your damages for themselves. We will make sure that you get your repairs sorted and your compensation safely in your pocket.

What do I need to know about Housing Disrepairs?

There are lots of different types of housing disrepairs that can affect the structure and integrity of your home. Some disrepairs are worse than others and can affect your family in a variety of ways. With that said, your landlord is responsible for any external & internal structures, as well as any essential equipment that is within your home. You are the tenant, therefore, the upkeep of the building is out of your hands. Although you do have to play your part to keep it clean and tidy, and you need to act sensibly to ensure that there is no damage to the building or your home.

If a disrepair does occur in your house, it’s important that your landlord does try get it fixed as quickly as possible. You should give them notice to get the disrepairs fixed. This means they need a bit of time to get them sorted out. Usually, this is a month. Make sure to let them know about the disrepair in writing and through electronic communication. That way you will have evidence to prove that you did try to alert your landlord to the disrepair if they ignore you.

In a perfect world, your landlord would get the disrepairs sorted out as fast as possible. However, there are times where your landlord may act negligently and the disrepairs may end up getting worse.

Landlord negligence may include:

If any of these acts of negligence happen to you, it’s time for you to make a Housing Disrepair Claim with the help of a solicitor. Your solicitor will speak to your landlord on your behalf. They will ensure that a triage assessor is sent over to look at the damages for themselves. We would recommend that you document as much evidence as you can to ensure you can prove you are suffering from the negligence. Your evidence can include:

Housing Disrepairs & Cracked Walls: Why are they a problem?

When you move into a house, the main thing you want to see is something that is aesthetic and stable. Seeing cracks in your walls can leave you feeling like you are living in a property that is falling apart and has not had a lot of attention and love over the last few years. It can also make you feel as if you are wasting your money on a property that makes you feel low when you return to it. Emotionally, seeing cracks in your wall can make you feel nervous and worried.

With that said, cracks in your walls can also cause some very bad problems when it comes to the condition of your house. Not only can a crack in your wall show that there is a problem with the insulation within your house, but it can allow cold breezes to pass through. Therefore, you may find that your house is very cold extremely fast. That means that your heating bills may rise because you are trying to keep your family warm during the winter period. Unfortunately, cracks in the wall can also encourage mice, rats, pests and mould & damp to enter or form inside your house. This could potentially increase your chances of suffering from a disease or breathing issues.

Keep an eye out for the following if you are worried about aforementioned problems:

• The feeling of damp growing in your house
• Droppings or scratching noises from vermin
• Cracks that have quickly become bigger
• Bulges inside the wall that are near cracks or holes

Your landlord does need to take a look at the disrepairs when you notice them. They will then find a repair worker to assess whether or not it is the insulation or the wall itself that is causing the cracks.

Housing Disrepairs: Plaster & Ceiling Disrepairs

Another type of crack in your wall may not actually look like a crack. In some walls that have been covered in very old plaster, you may find that air has been trapped beneath the surface. As the interior has grown older, the plaster may weaken and small bubbles may start to appear in the plaster.

If you leave these walls alone, and do not address the bubbles, it may be that eventually these bubbles will be so pressurized that they end up cracking or splitting. This can let stale air into your house. It can also expose you to anything dangerous that lies beneath the surface of your wall. This may cause breathing issues or you may end up with a surface that eventually falls down. This could get you hurt if you are standing next to the wall or are trying to apply any pressure to it. It also may encourage damp and mould to grow on the inside.

Water Damage & Bubbling Walls

Another reason that a crack or bubbled wall could occur is due to water damage. If there is a hole in your roof or cracks in the exterior of the wall, it is likely that water from the pipes or rainy days could collect inside your walls. This could increase the amount of damp that is inside your building and could result in structural damage. The interior’s insulation or wooden inside could eventually buckle due to water damage. You may find that cracks spread around the inside and outside of your house.

In some extreme circumstances, cracks in your walls can even be caused by plant damage as it grows inside your walls. With that said, water damage can be extremely dangerous because it can destroy the structure of your home. If it falls down, you could be hurt in the process quite severely, especially if it ends up falling on you.

During the winter months and Christmas period, it’s going to get increasingly cold, dark and dangerous. Whilst you think about whether or not you are going to go to your office’s Christmas party, the last thing you want to endure this holiday season is a housing disrepair. Housing disrepairs can put you and your family at risk of injuries, inconvenience and damage to all of your belongings, especially if you are suffering from damaged roofing. When you suffer from roof disrepairs, you may feel as though your home’s structure is slowly falling apart. You may also feel angry that your landlord is refusing to help you get the disrepairs sorted out.

This is where Gowing Law Solicitors can step in to help you. Our solicitors are determined to assist you to get the compensation and repairs that you deserve. We are always ready to provide you advice and consultations to help you make a decision on how you want to move forward with your claim. Call us on 0800 041 8350 or use our website below:

What do I need to know about housing disrepairs?

The first thing that you need to understand about any type of housing disrepairs is that they are about areas of your home being exposed to damages. When you enter into a contract with your landlord about a council house or property from the housing association, they need to ensure your safety whilst you live in it. This is known as a “duty of care”. If they fail to adhere to this, and you end up hurt or your home suffers from disrepairs, you could be owed compensation up to £20,000. This type of compensation claim is known as a housing disrepair claim. You could claim it if you have suffered from:

• Personal injuries
• Damaged belongings
• Inconvenience

Your landlord should ensure that you can live in your residence safely without worry that you will end up getting hurt. You should give your landlord around 1 months’ notice to get the disrepair sorted. Make sure to follow this process to make sure you can prove that you did everything you could to get your landlord to get the disrepairs sorted out:

You should never fund the repair work of the disrepairs. As you are only a tenant and do not own the property. Your landlord is responsible for the upkeep of your house. Therefore, if they fail to help you and the house gets worse, you could be owed compensation for the damages. Examples of negligence can include your landlord ignoring your complaints or your landlord demanding that you pay for the damages. There may even be times that your landlord attempts to fix your damages but ends up making them worse. Either way, they are guilty of negligence and you could be owed compensation.

Damaged Roofs & Housing Disrepairs: What problems can they cause?

Having a damaged roof can end up putting you and your family in a nightmare situation. Normally, when you think about roofs, you think about the outside of it being a problem. You may have broken tiles or holes in your roof. This, in turn, could present structural issues that could affect the entire stability of your home. However, you could also experience:

• Leaks that lead to puddles of water
• Mould, damp and mildew
• Broken electrical wires and systems
• Personal injuries due to falling bricks and slate

Your roof or chimneys could collapse due to age, structural issues or due to the bad weather. If it falls inside your home, there is a chance that it could also damage the furniture, especially if there is dust, broken insulation and any plaster that is broken. You may also find that a roof collapse could also cause a ceiling collapse, especially if the roof or ceiling is rotting. You may find that your house is completely uninhabitable if it is suffering from a damaged roof or ceiling. That’s why it’s crucial that you seek help as quickly as possible to have it fixed.

Housing Disrepairs: What sort of injuries could you suffer from damaged roofing?

When your house suffers from roofing damages, there is a chance that you could experience a range of personal injuries. A damaged roof can affect more than just the tiling. After all, it can also let in rain that can create puddles, mould and damp. It can also ruin electrical work and destroy personal belongings and equipment. Some of the most common injuries from damaged roofing include:

Unfortunately, having these sort of disrepairs can lead to you and your family getting injured. Holes in your roof can let in the cold, which does not bode well during the winter time. Your house may get extremely cold and you may end up getting sick more frequently. If you use a personal heater that connects to your electricity, you may find that your power bills may end up increasing. That means it is likely that you will end up experiencing financial damages as well as personal injuries.

What do I need to know about Housing Disrepairs?

One of the main things you need to understand about Housing Disrepair Claims is that they are there to protect you when your landlord is acting negligently. When you entered into your council house or accommodation from the housing association, you formed a contact with your landlord to ensure that you are kept safe in your home. You have the following rights when you move into a property as a tenant:

Your landlord has a responsibility to look after you and your family. They owe you a “duty of care” and therefore need to ensure that your house is kept safe and accommodating for you and anyone else in the property. If any of the essential equipment does break down, they need to fix it or else it may pose a threat to the safe of you and your family. Keep an eye out of any extra signs of negligence that could make your landlord liable for these breakdowns:

If you suffer from the negligence of your landlord, you will need to get started on your housing disrepair claim. Your lawyer will assist you with claiming compensation. During this, a triage assessor will be sent to your home to look over your damages. That way you can get a truly comfortable Christmas period.

Housing Disrepairs: What is classified as essential equipment in your home?

When you rent your property from your landlord, they need to provide you with essential equipment to ensure that you and your family are comfortable in the accommodation you are provided. If they fail to do so, or the equipment is damaged, you could put in a complaint to have the items replaced or to have the damages seen to by a repair worker. Some essential items may be equipment, but others are facilities that are necessary to keep your house habitable:

• Oven
• Toilet
• Sinks
• Boiler
• Fridge
• Electricity
• Piping and Sanitation

The reason that these need to be replaced so fast is that they could cause extreme problems in your house if they malfunction. This includes fires, flooding, cold and even more dangerous injuries. Your landlord should be focusing on getting the disrepairs sorted from the moment you report them. Although it is important to give them notice about your disrepairs, if you need something replaced, like a piece of essential equipment, your landlord should be looking for it. That way your family will not be put in danger.

Housing Disrepairs: How is my compensation measured for a claim about broken essential equipment?

When you make a Housing Disrepair Claim for broken essential equipment, you are doing it to get it replaced or fixed. Unfortunately, in some cases, your landlord may have acted negligently and you could have got hurt because of their actions. That’s why it’s crucial that you get the equipment fixed as quickly as possible. You could be owed up to around £20,000 for your disrepair, however it will be based on a number of issues:

If there is damaged equipment in your home, it’s very likely that you will be unable to function properly in the property. Let’s say that your oven was broken. You may have found it impossible to cook on without worrying it would cause a gas leak or a fire. Your oven may also simply not switch on. Therefore, you may be forced to go to other people’s homes to cook or you may get takeaways. This could cause financial problems and general inconvenience. This means that you could claim compensation for the housing disrepairs you have suffered.

It’s important that you have evidence to prove that you have suffered due to the broken essential equipment in your home. Make sure to take pictures and videos. You can also use receipts and witness statements as evidence of any additional housing disrepairs that have occurred. Your lawyer can use this to assist with your compensation claim. Your triage assessor can also take a look at the photos before visiting your home to understand the extent of your damages for themselves before they make their report.

What are the basics of housing disrepairs and claims?

One of the first things you need to understand about housing disrepair claims is that they are there to protect you when your home is damaged. Whether you have a council house or a home from the housing association, you need to know that your landlord is responsible for the upkeep. They need to ensure that you are safe when you live in this home with your family. If a part of your home is damaged by time, natural disaster or bad luck, they will be required to fix the damages. You did not cause the disrepairs yourself, therefore it is your landlord’s responsibility to have them fixed. When you notice a disrepair, you should do the following to ensure the problem is sorted out smoothly:

Make sure to give your landlord at least one month’s notice to get the disrepair fixed. If they fail to help you then you may need to get started on making a housing disrepair. This is due to the fact that you have started to suffer from your landlord’s negligence, especially if they have left the disrepair to get worse. Examples of landlord negligence can include:

• Having your requests for help ignored
• Your landlord gets angry or violent with you
• The disrepairs are repaired cheaply by your landlord and are dangerous
• Your landlord makes the disrepairs worse

Your landlord should be trying to help get the disrepairs fixed. However, if they fail to do it in a timely manner, the disrepairs may end up getting worse. That’s why it’s crucial that you get started on a Housing Disrepair Claim. We don’t want your Christmas to be ruined. It’s been a hard year and you deserve to have a break. You can rely on our team of specialists to assist you.

How could rat and mice become  housing disrepairs?

During the winter time, vermin will want to enter your home because it is warm and they are looking for a cosy spot to make their nest. Keep an eye out for any:

• Loose roofing
• Cracks in the exterior of your house
• Holes in your roofing
• Spaces in your floor boards
• Hidden/ exposed areas in your garden, fence, basement or garage

These small areas of exposure can make it very easy for a rat or mouse to slip inside your home to start making its nest. Rats and mice would not be a problem if they did not spread disease. Unfortunately, diseases from vermin can have serious effects, especially on children and the elderly. The aftermath of contracting an illness from a rat or mouse can take months to overcome.

You can catch a disease from a rat or mouse by:

There are a wide variety of diseases that can be spread by mice and rats. They can even be spread to dogs and cats that eat them. After all, if they have worms, the worms could be passed on to your furry friends! It is likely that you could catch a disease from a rat infestation. Potential diseases include:

• Rat bite fever
• Toxoplasmosis
  Tularaemia
• Echinococcosis
• Weil’s Disease
• Salmonellosis

If you feel ill or have any symptoms of the aforementioned illnesses, you should see a doctor as quickly as possible. You could end up with some serious side effects and may need future treatment if you leave it to get worse. By suffering from a personal injury during a housing disrepair claim, this could make you eligible for compensation.

Housing Disrepairs: How do I know if I have a rat infestation?

There are many signs of a rat infestation when you look around your house and outside garden. As it is winter time, it is likely that rats and mice are going to try and invade your home to make their nests. If you are worried about mice and rats invading your home, we would recommend that you leave out mice traps around vulnerable areas. These don’t have to be traps that hurt the rat or mouse. Instead, they can be cages that you can use to release them back into the wild. With that said, if you are scared they have already started to nest in your house, keep an eye out for these common infestation signs:

• Rat/Mice droppings
• Chewed through walls/insulation
• Grease trails
• Nesting in confined spaces
• Scratching/shuffling noises
• The smell of urine/ammonia
• Broken piping
• Chewed food/ Food with disturbed wrapping

The moment you notice any of these signs, you will need to reach out to your landlord to get the vermin problem sorted out. They are legally obligated to help you with this type of infestation.

Housing Disrepairs: What will happen if I leave an infestation?

If you leave an infestation, or your landlord leaves the infestation to get worse, it’s very likely that the number of rats or mice in your home will continue to grow. This is due to the fact that they will continue to make more nests and destroy different areas of your house.

When you have a rat infestation, it’s likely that you will see areas of your house quickly fall into disarray. Not only can mice and rats chew through electrical wiring, you will see that they can cause damage to your roof, flooring and the plasterboard of your walls. This includes creating holes within the insulation.

You may even find that your local housing department blames you for a rat infestation because you did not take any action to have it sorted out. This fine could be anywhere from £2,000 – £27,000, depending on the extent of the damages. Your landlord will be responsible for getting the disrepairs sorted from rat infestation, especially if they knew about the infestation before you moved in. They will need to help with any structural damages, electrical wiring problems or rodent catching. If the damages are that bad, or your home requires fumigation, they may even be responsible to find you another property to live in until it is safe to move back in.

What should I do if I have a rat infestation?

The first thing you need to do is see if your infestation will fall under a housing disrepair claim. In most cases of a rat infestation or mouse infestation, the answer will be yes. But you should still take a look at the categories below to make sure you know which category your claim will fall under:

There is a chance that your disrepair could fall under all three of these categories. If your landlord is ignoring your requests for help, you should go to a solicitor to get started on your claim. Your solicitor will help you collect evidence and will organize a triage assessor to inspect your home. They will then decide whether or not it is worth pursuing your case and what sort of repairs will be required to get the house sorted. In this case, you may require a fumigator pest control to enter your residence. Your solicitor will work on the compensation side of your claim, and your triage assessor will work on the repairs. You could be owed around £20,000 in damages for your case. So, get in contact with a lawyer from Gowing Law Solicitors to get started on your housing disrepair claim for rat infestation.

Housing Disrepairs: What is a Housing Disrepair Claim?

A housing disrepair claim is there to protect you if your council house or house from the housing association is suffering from damages. Unfortunately, as quite a high number of council homes were built in the 1960s and 1980s. This means that that time has left them ailing for repairs.

If asbestos was used, it is also likely to make them very dangerous to live in. Mould and damp is very likely to spread in these types of environment. This is due to the fact that the interiors may not have proper insulation, glazed windows or may just have cracks and breaks that may let in the cold winter air.

Your landlord is expected to help you with any disrepairs that appear in your home. If they fail to do this then they could be guilty of negligence. The only reason they may not help or fund the repair work is if you were responsible for the damages yourself. However, if you were not responsible for the damages, you should expect the following process to take place.

Follow this process:

Your landlord will need to respond to your disrepair notice in around a month. If they fail to do so then they could be guilty of negligence. This is due to the fact that they have left the disrepair to get worse. Your landlord could also be guilty of negligence if they have:

• Acted aggressively towards you
• Ignored your requests for help
• Attempted to fix your disrepair cheaply and have put you at risk
• Inadvertently made the disrepair worse
• Asked you to pay for the disrepair

Should any of the aforementioned acts of negligence happen to you, you should get in contact with Gowing Law Solicitors to start on your housing disrepair claim. Our lawyers are here to help you and will always provide the best advice in relation to your case. Feel free to ask them any questions that may come to mind.

Mould and Damp Housing Disrepairs: How could they affect my house?

Mould and damp can appear anywhere in your home and is known as the most common of the different housing disrepairs. However it is most likely to be in moist, warm sections of the interior. It is usually in an area that has allowed for condensation to settle on your wall’s surface. This means that the area is damp and can lead to fungus growing on your wall.

There are lots of different types of fungus, however the most dangerous is black mould. Mould can allow for spores to be released that can be inhaled by humans. This is extremely bad for those who suffer from breathing problems, such as asthma.

Condensation is usually allowed to appear on surfaces that are made of plaster, wood or are extremely porous. The surfaces tend to be cold but become damp because it is in a hot or humid environment. Rooms that are mostly affected by mould and damp are those that do not have a very good air flow. It may be tightly packed with furniture or may be a naturally humid due to the essential equipment within the room. If you notice mould in the room, it’s important that you aerate the room as quickly as possible. You should also look into buying mould sprays and cleaning products to stop the mould from spreading.

What sort of housing disrepairs could I experience due to mould?

Due to the fact that mould is a fungus, it can spread to a range of interiors inside your home. This includes your floor, walls, windows, doors and anywhere that contains fabric. Unfortunately, it can cause severe damages to both you and your home. That’s why it’s crucial that you get it sorted as quickly as possible. You can prevent mould by:

• Using mould sprays and cleaning products
• Allowing the room to aerate after washes and bathing
• Opening windows to prevent humidity build up
• Placing humidifiers in different rooms

Unfortunately, in some cases, the mould and damp may be so severe that it simply cannot be removed without professional intervention. If your mould build-up is bad, you may end up experiencing the following damages in your home:

If you notice any dizziness, hallucinations or confusion, it’s important that you get out of the house as quickly as possible. It’s likely that your home suffers from black mould. This type of mould can be toxic and can cause severe personal injuries. Make sure to get mould in your home seen to as quickly as possible. It may even need a specialized fumigation service in your home to make sure that all of the spores have been destroyed. There is a chance that you could also be allergic to the mould. Make sure to wash your hands if you touch it. That way you will not come out in a rash.

When you try to clean up mould, make sure to wear protective equipment during the process. That way you can protect yourself from any spills or fumes that could affect your sight or internal organs. You should wear goggles, gloves and may even need to wear a mask if you are worried about breathing in fumes from the cleaning process.

What type of furniture in my house can be affected by mould and damp?

Unfortunately, if there is furniture or belongings in the room that has been affected by mould, it’s very likely that they will also be affected. Spores travel between cloth-based and porous materials, this includes:

• Clothing
• Blankets
• Towels
• Posters
• Fabric posters
• Rugs
• Paint

It’s more likely that you will find mould in warmer areas, such as your kitchen, but also in rooms that are more likely to be moister or damp. For instance, the bathroom or a room with large windows. Be careful when you take out washing and leave it in a confined space. It may end up that the room starts to develop mould. You may also need to check cupboards or items that have been left near to mouldy walls. It is more likely that the mould will spread that way. You can detect mould by the feeling of damp in the room and the smell. You should also look for the dark splodges or discoloration on your wall.

Who is vulnerable to mould and damp?

When you move into a council house, it’s important that you are able to relax in it with your family. Of course, you may be moving in by yourself, but if you move in with a large group of people then this could put them at risk. The more people in the room means that it’s likely that to increase the amount of humidity that is inside the room. Therefore, the amount of damp will rise, meaning that there is a potential for mould to grow.

The most vulnerable groups of people that could be affected by mould include:

• Young children
• Pensioners
• People who suffer from chronic illness.

If you notice someone coughing blood, finding it hard to breath or are becoming extremely dizzy, we would recommend that you take them to hospital as quickly as possible. They may have had a bad reaction to the mould and may need medical treatment as quickly as possible. This includes being given anti-biotitic or put on a respirator.

Is my landlord responsible for the mould in my home?

Yes, your landlord is responsible for the mould in your home. When they entered into a contract with you, they became responsible for your safety. This is known as a “duty of care”. Ultimately, they need to make sure that your house is habitable for you and your family. If they fail to do this then they will be liable for your damages and will need to pay for your compensation. If the housing disrepair falls into one of these categories, you could be eligible for compensation:

There is a chance that the mould and damp in your home could assist you with claiming compensation within all three categories. Not only could it worsen your asthma, which is a personal injury, but it could damage your belongings, due to it spreading, and could also make certain areas of the house inaccessible, meaning that you are suffering from inconvenience. If you have fallen under any of these categories, it’s time for you to look into housing disrepair claims. After all, you could be eligible to make a claim yourself. That way, you can get your disrepairs sorted and get compensation for any additional damages that you have suffered.
