Can you claim housing disrepair compensation in Worthing?

If damp and mould or severe leaks are ruining your Worthing property, you do not have to accept it. UK Housing Claims helps local tenants check if they can bring a housing disrepair claim against their landlord. Our service is completely free to check and operates on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Coastal weather in Worthing often makes damp and mould worse, especially in older flats and houses. Worthing Borough Council and local housing associations must keep homes dry, warm and structurally sound. Yet many tenants watch paint peel and water drip while waiting months for repairs. Damp air causes coughs, ruins clothes and makes heating bills skyrocket. We help Worthing tenants fight back against neglectful landlords so you can enjoy a dry, safe place to live.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Worthing?

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