Living with damp and mould isn’t just unpleasant; it’s a serious health risk and a clear sign that your landlord may be neglecting their legal duties. At Marley Solicitors, we specialise in payouts for housing disrepair claims and are here to help tenants take action when landlords fail to maintain safe, habitable living conditions.

Damp and mould: A sign of housing disrepair

Damp and mould are common problems in rented homes, especially when landlords ignore requests for repairs. Whether caused by leaks, poor ventilation, or rising damp, the result is often the same: damage to your home and a risk to your health. Mould spores can trigger asthma, respiratory problems, skin irritation, and even impact mental well-being, especially for children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions.

Your right to live in a safe home

Under UK law, your landlord has a duty to keep your property in a good state of repair. That includes fixing leaks, preventing damp, and ensuring adequate ventilation. If they fail to act within a reasonable time after you report the issue, you could be entitled to compensation for housing disrepair.

How we can help

We understand how stressful it is to live in poor conditions. Marley Solicitors offers expert legal support to help tenants hold landlords accountable. Here’s how we can assist you with a damp and mould claim:

  • Free consultation to assess your situation and advise whether you have a valid claim.
  • No win, no fee representation, so you don’t pay anything upfront
  • Pursuing compensation for damage to your belongings, health issues, and the inconvenience caused

Start your claim today

    You was absolutely amazing in helping me with my case and I could not have hoped for a better solicitor. I came in expecting to get a couple grand in injuries from a car crash and I left with £18,750. Absolutely brilliant service and I could not be more ecstatic about the results thank you for all the help and I will be referring everyone I know to you.

    I had an injury at a major Supermarket so I contacted several solicitors to make a claim for compensation. Most stated that the compensation I would receive would not be worth making a claim. Marley Solicitors stated the opposite and a claim was made. I was very surprised that I was offered more compensation than the claim put forward by Marley Solicitors. Yasmin was my Solicitor and she did a fantastic job, keeping me informed of the whole process putting me at ease. I would not hesitate to contact Marley Solicitors if I need there advice in the future Thanks for a job well done. Regards Peter.

    I was dealing with housing disrepair and poor accommodation standards. Marley Solicitors was recommended to me by a friend after they had received amazing support from them. I had the pleasure of speaking with Yasmin and having her help me for the entirety of the case. She was very informative and explained very well what was going on and what the next steps to take were going to be. In the end, she helped us receive substantial compensation from our housing association, more that we thought we were going to get. They worked swiftly and effectively without delaying anything. I definitely recommend them to anyone having legal trouble. Thank you to Yasmin and her team!
