Housing Association Claims

We know how hard it is to live in a home that’s broken, damp, or unsafe. If you live in a housing association property and your landlord isn’t fixing problems in your home, you don’t have to deal with it alone.

We’re here to help you get the repairs you need and the respect you deserve.

What is a Housing Association?

A housing association is a not-for-profit organisation that rents out homes to people who need them. They are different from private landlords because the money they get from rent goes towards looking after the homes and helping the community. Housing associations often work with local councils to help people who might struggle to find a safe place to live that they can afford. If you rent your home from a housing association, they are responsible for keeping it in good condition and making sure it’s safe to live in.

We work with people who live in housing association properties as well as council and social housing homes.
