When a property suffers structural damage there is an increased risk of collapse, making it an incredibly unsafe place to live.
A report last year revealed that UK properties are becoming more likely to collapse due to subsidence caused by climate change. If your home begins to show signs of structural damage such as cracks or leaning walls, it is your landlord’s responsibility to arrange an inspection and resolve any issues.
If you rent your home from a housing association or council and they are slow to react or neglect the issue completely, it could be seen as a breach of your tenancy agreement and you could claim compensation.
