Our client had been reporting damp and a leak within the property since 2015 to their Social Landlord. They had inspectors attend the property and the job was passed from one agent to the next. Even the incorrect type of agent was sent out to the property that could not assist with the disrepair.
After 4 years of attempts to get this resolved by their Social Landlord, they felt they had no choice but to take legal action and contacted Amin Haque Solicitors, the parent company of Tenant Advice Service.
Within 5 months of being instructed Amin Haque Solicitors were able to get the landlord to agree to complete damp works and rectify the leak and the damage caused within a reasonable time period. We were also able to secure our client £2,000.00 in compensation for the inconvenience suffered due to the disrepair.
