As a tenant, you have the right to live in a safe and well-maintained property. Landlords are legally obligated to ensure that your home is habitable and to address any necessary repairs promptly. If your landlord fails to do so, we can help you understand your options for taking action.

Start by taking clear photographs of the issues, such as leaks, mold, or structural damage. Keep a record of any communication with your landlord regarding these issues, including dates and responses. This documentation will be valuable if you need to escalate the situation legally.

If your landlord is unresponsive, it’s important to document your communication attempts. You may need to send a formal written request for repairs. If the issue persists, contact us for guidance on how to proceed, including potential legal actions.

Withholding rent can be a complex issue, however, it is rarely the answer as it often puts you in the position of breathing your tenancy agreement. It’s crucial to understand the legal implications before taking this step. We can advise you on the best course of action based on your situation
