Housing disrepair can arise when a landlord, such as Berneslai Homes, fails to maintain a rented property to the standard required by law. As a provider of Supported Housing, Berneslai Homes must ensure that residents are provided with homes that are safe, structurally sound, and suitable for their individual needs.
Under legislation including the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, Berneslai Homes has legal responsibilities to keep the structure and exterior of rented properties in repair and to ensure essential installations remain in proper working order. Disrepair problems commonly experienced by residents may include:
If you have reported disrepair to Berneslai Homes and appropriate repairs have not been carried out, you may be able to take action to have the problems resolved and seek financial compensation. Landlords are generally expected to respond within a reasonable period, although the appropriate timeframe will depend on the seriousness and urgency of the defect.
Berneslai Homes states that emergency repairs should be attended to within 24 hours. If an urgent problem has been reported but remains unresolved beyond the appropriate timeframe, you may have grounds to pursue a Housing Disrepair Claim.
