Leaks and water damage can quickly turn a home into a hazardous and uncomfortable place to live. Whether it’s a dripping ceiling, burst pipe, or faulty guttering, water intrusion is more than just an inconvenience; it can cause structural damage, health issues, and even make parts of your home uninhabitable.
At Marley Solicitors, we help tenants take action when landlords fail to fix water leaks and related disrepair. If your landlord has ignored your complaints, you may be entitled to a payout.
Water damage is a serious form of disrepair
Water damage often starts small but can escalate quickly. Left untreated, it can lead to dampness, mould, rotten woodwork, and damaged flooring, ceilings, and walls. It can also ruin personal belongings like furniture, clothes, and electrical items.
More importantly, leaks and flooding can pose serious safety risks, from electrical hazards to weakened building structures. If your landlord hasn’t acted to fix the issue, they may be in breach of their legal responsibilities.
Your landlord’s responsibility
Your landlord has a legal duty to keep your home in good repair. That includes:
- Fixing leaking roofs, pipes, or appliances
- Repairing damaged gutters and drainage systems
- Addressing any damage caused by flooding or water ingress
- Ensuring your home is safe, dry, and structurally sound
If they fail to act after you’ve reported the problem, you could make a housing disrepair settlement claim.

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!
