Hackney has seen huge growth, but housing disrepair remains a massive problem for many renters. Damp and black mould can quickly spread across walls and ceilings, ruining clothing and causing illness. When landlords ignore reported problems, you have the legal right to challenge them. Taking action forces repairs to be carried out and secures compensation for your suffering.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Hackney?

Regardless of where you live in Hackney, 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:

  • Structurally sound and free from instability.
  • Free from serious damp and mould growth.
  • Equipped with functioning heating and hot water systems.
  • Safe from hazards like faulty wiring or gas leaks.

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