Housing disrepair occurs when landlords, such as Southern Housing Group, fail to keep a rented property in a condition that meets legal safety and habitability standards. As a specialist provider of Affordable Housing, Southern Housing Group has a heightened duty to ensure that homes are not only structurally sound but also suitable for the needs of older residents.
Under UK law, including the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, Southern Housing Group is responsible for maintaining the structure of your home and ensuring essential services are working reliably. Common disrepair issues reported by residents in these schemes include:
If you have reported these issues and Southern Housing Group has failed to act, you may be entitled to both the repairs and financial compensation for the disruption to your life. While the law requires landlords to act within a "reasonable timeframe," Southern Housing Group aims to have emergency repairs attended to within Within 6 hours. If they have missed this target, they may be in breach of their legal obligations to you.
