Disrepair no win no fee

Sep 17 | 2018
If your landlord is not making repairs to your rental property, you have a number of factors to consider; firstly you may be worried about making a claim for disrepair in case your Landlord tries to evict you from your property.  However, there are laws in place that protection you from being evicted just because you have made a claim for disrepair. You may be protected from eviction under new legislation  (available in England) to protect you from what is known as 'retaliatory eviction' .  You can make a claim for damages (compensation) under S11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and you can take out an injunction forcing your Landlord to make the necessary repairs with or without damages.  It is difficult to obtain legal aid to bring a claim and it is difficult if not impossible to get free advice and assistance to make a claim for disrepair.  It can also be expensive and risky to attempt to pay privately without being financially secure or without ATE (after the event insurance).  One option to explore is NO WIN NO FEE, and Newbold Solicitors may be able to assist you to bring a claim this way.  You should never live in a property that has damp, that does not have adequate heating or water, that has rats or mice, that is too cold in the winter.  If you pay rent, you should live in a property that you are proud to live in.
