Leaking windows, the door with a draft or the condensation
As this month draws to a close our minds turn to October and the cold and wet weather that Autumn brings. At this time, we also remember those jobs that we were able to forget over the summer months, the leaking windows, the door with a draft or the condensation and mould that has not been seen for 6 months.
You might be concerned about the damp that you know will cause issues not only with the walls but also your personal possessions that have previously been damaged through foist and mould.
Council or housing association tenants
As a tenant with a housing association or the council, did you know that if you have reported a problem with your property that they have failed to repair, not only can Housing Disrepair help you with ensuring you get the repair carried out to your property but you may also be entitled to compensation. Housing disrepair is a significant problem, and often complaints to landlords of disrepair go unanswered. As a tenant you have the right to live in a safe and damage free home for which you pay rent, all to often, tenants of housing associations or councils accept sub-standard properties, delayed or ignored requests, and significant waiting times for repairs to be completed.
