Living in a home with disrepair issues like damp, mould, or leaks can be stressful. Fortunately, if your landlord hasn’t fixed these problems, you might be eligible for compensation. Our Housing Disrepair Compensation Calculator helps you check your eligibility quickly and easily. Let’s explore how it works, how much you could claim, and why it’s worth taking action.
What is Housing Disrepair?
Housing disrepair happens when your rented property falls into poor condition, and your landlord fails to repair it. Common issues include damp, broken heating, or structural damage. According to GOV.UK, tenants have the right to a safe and habitable home. If your landlord ignores repair requests, you could claim compensation.
How Does the Calculator Work?
Our calculator is simple. First, you enter details like your monthly rent, how long the disrepair has lasted, and its severity (e.g., mild damp or severe flooding). Then, if the issue caused illness or injury, you can add that too. Finally, the tool gives you an estimated compensation amount. It’s fast, free, and helps you understand your options.
How Much Compensation Can You Claim?
Compensation varies based on your situation. For example, if damp affects your home for 12 months at £500 rent with 50% severity, you could claim £3,000 for loss of amenity. If it caused health issues, like respiratory problems, you might get extra—potentially £2,450 to £165,740, depending on severity (based on legal guidelines). However, these are estimates. National Claims will help you get in touch with experienced solicitors who can assess your case accurately.
