Types of 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 actual percentage you receive depends on how uninhabitable the property was. If the property was completely uninhabitable, you would be compensated 100%. However, this is very rare and most claims range between 25% and 50% of the rent you paid.

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.
The condition of a landlord’s rented property, which includes water systems, heating systems, drainage and external pipes, as well as sanitary fittings, is subject to inspection. This implies that if there is a water leak in your rental home, the landlord will be held accountable. They must also ensure that the premises are safe and inhabitable for humans.
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 required by law to make most external and structural repairs to the leased property under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. This obligation is found in Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, which applies to all sorts of necessary repairs, including those that impact the property’s structure or aesthetic appeal.
If there are any safety hazards with the property or its vicinity, the landlord is responsible for resolving them on their own dime. Although your tenancy agreement may indicate that you are responsible for some basic maintenance, such as changing light bulbs, most structural repairs fall outside of your responsibilities.
