Can you claim housing disrepair compensation in Brighton?

If you rent your home in Brighton and your landlord refuses to fix big problems, you could make a claim. Wet walls, broken heating, leaking roofs and black mould can make life miserable. We help Brighton tenants check if they can get repairs done and claim compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Salty sea air and older coastal buildings mean damp and mould are common across Brighton & Hove City Council areas. Many flats near the seafront suffer from leaking windows and drafty rooms. If you have reported these issues to your landlord or housing association and nothing has been fixed, you do not have to cope alone. You deserve a safe, dry home that is kept in good repair.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Brighton?

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