Renting in Liverpool and your landlord won't fix damp, mould, leaks, heating or pests? We help council, housing association and private tenants across Merseyside force repairs and claim compensation — No Win, No Fee.
Most of Liverpool's former council homes are now run by large housing associations. Tenants tell us the same story: damp and mould in terraced housing, leaking roofs and boilers that fail every winter. You have the same rights against a housing association as against a council.
Whether your landlord is housing associations that took over former council stock, a housing association such as Onward Homes, Torus, Riverside, Cobalt Housing, Plus Dane, One Vision Housing and Livv Housing, or a private landlord or letting agent, the law is the same: under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 they must keep your home in repair, and under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 it must be fit to live in.
Condensation, black mould, rising and penetrating damp.
Broken boilers, cold radiators, endless waits for engineers.
Roof leaks, burst pipes, water from the flat above.
Rats, mice, cockroaches and bedbugs getting in through defects.
Cracks, rotten windows, unsafe stairs, dangerous wiring.
Broken fittings, blocked drains, sewage smells.

Yes. If you rent from housing associations that took over former council stock or a housing association such as Onward Homes or Torus, or from a private landlord anywhere in Liverpool, and your landlord has failed to fix reported problems within a reasonable time, you can claim. Our free check confirms eligibility within 24 hours.
No — everything is handled remotely by phone, email and WhatsApp, and an independent surveyor visits your home in Liverpool to inspect the disrepair. You don't need to travel anywhere.
Awards are based on your rent and how badly the disrepair affected your home — typically 25–50% of rent for the affected period, up to 100% where rooms were unusable, plus damaged belongings and any health impact.
Not until you decide to proceed. The initial assessment is confidential. Once you instruct a solicitor, a formal letter of claim is sent to your landlord — and it is unlawful for them to evict or harass you for making a claim.
