Housing Disrepair Compensation
How disrepair compensation works, what you can claim for, and roughly what it's worth.
When you've lived with disrepair, compensation does two things: it gets the repairs done, and it puts money back in your pocket for what you've been through. That can include a reduction of the rent you've paid for a home that wasn't up to standard, the cost of belongings ruined by damp or leaks, and an amount for the inconvenience, stress and any health impact. What it's worth depends on how bad the disrepair was and how long you put up with it — we'll give you an honest view of your case.
