This case study highlights the challenges faced by tenants in housing disrepair situations and presents a streamlined solution through Sentry Funding’s Rapid Raise Three funding product, revolutionising the process of addressing housing disrepair claims effectively.
Problem
Tenants often encounter housing disrepair issues due to negligent property management or landlords’ and local councils failure to address necessary repairs promptly.
