Islington is home to thousands of renters in Georgian conversions and large council housing estates. Islington Council and local housing associations must fix issues like damp, mould, broken heating and water leaks. Sadly, many residents wait months for basic repairs. Cold, wet homes cause chest infections and ruin furniture. You do not have to endure living in bad conditions. Starting a housing disrepair claim holds your landlord responsible and gets your home repaired properly.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Islington?

Regardless of where you live in Islington, 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:

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