Understanding Clarion Housing Group Disrepair Claims

A rented home should remain safe, functional, and fit for everyday occupation. When Clarion Housing Group fails to address defects that fall within its repairing responsibilities, tenants may be dealing with housing disrepair. This can include problems with the fabric of the property, essential services, or shared areas that Clarion Housing Group is responsible for maintaining.

Clarion Housing Group, as a provider of Affordable Housing, must comply with its legal obligations as a landlord. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 places duties on landlords to keep the structure and exterior of rented homes in repair and to maintain installations for water, sanitation, heating, and hot water. The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 also requires qualifying rented properties to be fit for people to live in throughout the tenancy.

Examples of repair issues that may justify further action include:

• Heating systems & defective boilers: Repeated boiler breakdowns, faulty radiators, defective controls, or communal heating problems can leave tenants without essential services.
• Damp and mould: These problems may be linked to leaks, defective roofing, damaged walls, poor insulation, or inadequate ventilation that requires remedial work.
• Unsafe communal areas: Broken lighting, damaged flooring, insecure doors, faulty lifts, or other defects in shared spaces may create avoidable safety risks.
• Leaks and plumbing: Defective pipework, leaking fixtures, drainage problems, or failures in sanitation can lead to ongoing damage if the underlying cause is not repaired.
• Pest and vermin Infestation: Holes, damaged vents, gaps around pipework, or other structural faults can allow rodents or insects to enter a home or shared part of a building.

Once Clarion Housing Group has been informed about a repair issue, it should investigate and take appropriate action within a reasonable period. The amount of time considered reasonable will depend on factors such as the seriousness of the defect, whether it presents an immediate risk, and the type of work required.

Clarion Housing Group indicates that emergency repairs should be attended to within 24 hours. If you have reported a serious problem and it has not been addressed within an appropriate timeframe, you may be able to pursue a Clarion Housing Disrepair Claim to secure the necessary repairs and seek compensation.
