Your tenancy and the disrepair
Tell us where you rent and what needs fixing. We tailor the letter to the repairing-standard law and the enforcement body for your part of the UK.
This letter will cite
Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 ss.11 & 9A (England & Wales); Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 Repairing Standard (Scotland); Private Tenancies (NI) Order 2006 arts.7, 17-18 (Northern Ireland).
Once a landlord is on notice of disrepair they must fix it within a reasonable time. If they do not, the tribunal, court, or council can step in.
Repairing-standard rules and the body you apply to differ across the UK, so this changes your letter.
The duty to repair runs from when the landlord is on notice, so the date you first reported it matters.
