Can you claim housing disrepair compensation in Kensington?

Tenants in Kensington living with housing disrepair can get help today. If you have damp and mould, draughty windows or faulty heating, your landlord must fix them. When requests are ignored, we help you check if you can claim compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis. You deserve a safe home.

Kensington features grand period properties alongside social housing blocks, but disrepair can happen anywhere. Kensington and Chelsea Council and local landlords must keep properties fit for living. Severe damp, leaking roofs and broken boilers are far too common in older conversions. Living in damp conditions harms your physical health and mental well-being. If your landlord delays repairs despite your complaints, checking your options can help you get repairs done and receive fair compensation.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Kensington?

Regardless of where you live in Kensington, 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 Kensington landlord fails to meet these standards, you can claim compensation.
