Damages
General damages and special damages are two types of compensation that you may be entitled to in a Housing Disrepair Claim. The rent you paid while your home was being neglected can be used as the basis for your claim. A percentage of your rent will be determined based on how serious the disrepair was.
The part you receive is determined by how bad the disrepair was. You could be compensated 100% if the home was completely unhabitable. This is, however, uncommon; most claims are between 25% and 50% of your rent.
If your house has had disrepair issues that have made you or someone in your family ill, damaged property, or caused you inconvenience, you are entitled to compensation. If you haven’t been able to use part or all of your home because of the disrepair, you may also request reimbursement for rent.

According to English law, your landlord is obligated to provide you with a dependable source of heating or hot water at all times. This means that as a tenant, you are entitled to have a central heating system or equipment for space heating in every room of the property that you occupy. The rented property should also have a working boiler for heating water.
Your landlord is responsible for maintaining the hot water and heating systems as well as appliances such as electric heaters that they have supplied. They must also ensure that these systems are kept in proper working order. If you experience any problems with your heating or hot water systems, your landlord must make the repairs and they must pay for said repairs and maintenance themselves.
Landlords are responsible for maintaining the condition of their rented homes, which includes everything from water systems to heating systems to drainage and external pipes, as well as sanitary fittings. This implies that if there is a water leak in your rental property, the landlord is liable for repairs.
They must also ensure that the property is safe and fit for human habitation. If water damage has resulted from a water leak, the landlord may also be responsible for repairing this damage.
In most cases, a landlord can’t terminate your tenancy until the issue for which they are responsible has been resolved. There may be times, however, when you must leave early. If you believe that despite the fact that your home is secure and suitable for human habitation, the landlord has neglected to repair a problem that makes it unsuitable for you.
Landlords are responsible for the exterior of a rental property, including doors and windows, even if the lease states otherwise. Even if the tenancy claims that the tenant is responsible for repairs, this obligation persists. Damaged or broken windows and doors can cause a slew of issues, from dampness to mould growth to safety concerns.
The landlord is obligated by law to make most external and structural repairs to the leased property under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. This duty is outlined in Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, which applies to all sorts of required repairs, including those affecting the property’s structure or appearance.
If there are any safety concerns with the property or the surroundings, the landlord is responsible for addressing them at their own cost. Although your tenancy agreement may say that you are responsible for some basic upkeep, such as changing light bulbs, most structural repairs remain the responsibility of the landlord.
