Housing providers

Advice for housing providers

Arkas Law advises housing associations, private landlords and councils across the UK on housing disrepair and statutory nuisance claims.

We help housing providers respond to claims involving damp and mould, pest infestation, water leaks, heating, electrical faults and other property defects.

Defending claims

Disrepair claims can involve compensation for distress, inconvenience, damage to belongings and alleged effects on health.

We assess the circumstances and evidence, advise on the issues in dispute and represent housing providers in defending claims. Our approach focuses on handling matters efficiently, managing legal costs and working towards an appropriate outcome.

We also advise where responsibility for the alleged disrepair is disputed, including concerns about tenant damage or breaches of tenancy obligations.
