Can you claim housing disrepair compensation in York?

If your rented home in York has damp, mould, leaks or no heating, you do not have to put up with it. Your landlord has a duty to fix serious faults.

York has many beautiful older properties, but historic buildings can suffer from rising damp, cold drafts and roof leaks if not maintained properly. If your City of York Council home is cold and unsafe, it impacts your family's health. If you reported disrepair to your landlord and they ignored your requests, we are here to help you get the repairs done and check your eligibility for financial compensation.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in York?

Regardless of where you live in York, 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.
