From town centre flats to family estates across Kent, many Maidstone tenants face slow council and housing association repairs. Maidstone Borough Council sets clear standards for home safety, yet many people wait months for basic fixes.

We assist Maidstone residents in standing up for a decent, dry home.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Maidstone?

Regardless of where you live in Maidstone, whether you rent from the council or a housing association, you are protected by the law in England and Wales. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 states that your home must be:

  • Free from serious damp and mould growth.
  • Equipped with functioning heating and hot water systems.

If your Maidstone landlord fails to meet these standards, you can claim compensation.
