Can you claim housing disrepair compensation in Portsmouth?

Damp, leaks and faulty boilers are common problems for Portsmouth tenants. If you told your landlord about these issues and they failed to act, you could be owed compensation for housing disrepair. UK Housing Claims helps you check your rights quickly, so you can get repairs started without stress.

Coastal weather in Portsmouth brings heavy rain and salty air, making roofs and brickwork prone to leaks. Tenants renting from Portsmouth City Council frequently deal with rising damp and mould spores in bedrooms. You shouldn't have to pay full rent for a broken home. We assist Portsmouth residents in starting a claim so repairs get finished properly.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Portsmouth?

Regardless of where you live in Portsmouth, 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:

  • Equipped with functioning heating and hot water systems.

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