Damp & Mould
Heating & Water
Structural & Electrical
Persistent mould and damp are recognized health risks subject to strict habitability standards. Your landlord must address these promptly.
Landlords are statutory obligated to maintain water, gas, electricity, sanitation, and heating systems to ensure a safe home.
Defects like roof leaks, structural cracking, or electrical hazards must be formally reported and repaired within a reasonable timeframe.
Specific Faults and Your Rights
Electrical Safety Risks
Defective wiring, faulty sockets, and inadequate lighting pose serious safety concerns. Landlords must ensure all electrical installations are safe and maintained under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
Defective Sanitation
Unaddressed plumbing leaks, blocked drains, or non-functioning toilets are breaches of your landlord's duty to maintain essential facilities. You have a right to proper sanitation.
