Accelerating Resolutions for Housing Disrepair Claims

Introduction

Housing disrepair can significantly impact tenants’ quality of life, posing health risks and diminishing the enjoyment of their rented properties. Resolving housing disrepair claims efficiently is crucial for tenants seeking compensation and repairs. 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. Such issues can include dampness, leaks, faulty heating, or structural defects, causing inconvenience, health concerns, and financial burdens for tenants. Resolving these matters efficiently can be challenging without streamlined processes and adequate resources.

Legal Context and References:

  1. Landlord’s Repair Obligations: Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and other relevant regulations, landlords have a legal duty to maintain rented properties in good repair. This includes addressing structural defects, heating systems, sanitation, and other essential components of the property.
