Arkas Law has a specialised housing disrepair and statutory nuisance department that assist housing providers; housing associations, private landlords and Council’s nationwide that are faced with a number of disrepair and statutory nuisance claims against them.
Tenants often allege to suffer from a variety of sub-standard housing conditions that have caused distress, inconvenience, damaged possessions and consequential health problems. It is evident that unfortunately, there are a significant amount of rental properties in the United Kingdom that inevitably suffer from disrepair, whether it be due to oversight or the large burden on landlord’s, to ensure all properties are habitable as per housing guidelines and within their financial constraints. This can bring about conditions of damp and mould, mice and insect infestation, water leaks, heating and electrical issues and other problems that go unaddressed.
