When you rent a property there is a certain standard that must be met at all times. Specific living conditions that your landlord must ensure are kept up throughout the time that you are paying rent. If these conditions alter and your accommodation is showing signs of becoming an unstable living environment, then it is up to your landlord to make the appropriate corrections.
A standard of living when it comes to rented properties includes dampness. There should be no dampness at any point as this can become mould and can have negative effects on the renters’ health. Damp and mould will not only make your house unappealing to look at, but they can also damage furniture, clothing, and belongings and cause health complications such as issues with breathing, chest infections and suffering from mould poisoning. This is why damp must be corrected immediately and if it is neglected, a housing disrepair claim could be made and the renters could be eligible for compensation.
Typically, handling the living conditions of a rented property is the landlord’s responsibility and this includes dealing with dampness. It can be slightly tricky to decide who is responsible, however, and the role can often be circumstantial. There is a general guide to understanding who is responsible and when and we have briefly outlined it below.
The landlord is responsible when the dampness has occurred due to underlying repair issues, some of these could be:
However, there are some scenarios where dampness may occur that would lead the landlord to believe it is not their responsibility and is the tenants as it is their actions that have caused it. The times when a landlord may be reluctant to take accountability and fix the dampness are when the tenant has not taken the appropriate actions to reduce the chances of dampness.
This could be if they:
If you are experiencing dampness in your rented home then you can claim compensation but only if certain elements apply. Some of these are:
If your damp has turned into mould then you may be able to claim for mould damage. If it has festered into mould and you can prove that you notified your landlord about the dampness, which they neglected to fix, thus leading to the mould that has caused issues and violations to the tenancy agreement, then you can claim for mould damage. The most common reason people can claim mould damage is due to the impacts it can have on the tenants’ health. Mould and dampness can trigger a range of health complications and if you can prove that you have experienced these then you can claim. Some symptoms are:
You can also claim if you can prove that the mould has caused other housing issues. Some of these are:
The key point of claiming mould damage is proof. You have to be able to prove that these issues have occurred due to negligence or failure to provide complete service by your landlord. That’s why if you are experiencing any of these issues it’s important to document it. Take pictures, keep doctors’ notes and letters including dates, record the dates of appointments, and keep proof of your emails/ways of contacting your landlord including dates and how they followed it up.
The compensation rates can vary usually depending on the evidence, amount of damage and the effects. Typically speaking, compensation for mould and dampness in the UK tends to be between 25% to 50% of the rent of the property. This is why it’s great to get the help of a team of legal professionals who can appropriately assess the damage and the level of compensation that is fair.
