Phoenix Legal Limited Secures £4,000 Housing Disrepair Settlement for Tenant
The Housing Disrepair team at Phoenix Legal Limited has successfully secured a £4,000 housing disrepair settlement against a landlord, achieving a positive outcome for our client both financially and in terms of their living conditions.
Successful Housing Disrepair Claim Against a Landlord
The Defendant landlord accepted the Claimant’s Part 36 offer just 33 days after service of the Claimant’s witness statements, demonstrating the strength of the case and the effectiveness of early, robust litigation.
This swift acceptance highlights the value of taking prompt legal action when landlords fail to fulfil their repair obligations.
Landlord Ordered to Complete Outstanding Repairs
Importantly, as part of the settlement agreement, the landlord is now required to complete all outstanding repair works within 90 days.
This is a significant outcome for our client, as it not only provides financial compensation but also ensures meaningful improvements to their living conditions moving forward.
Why Housing Disrepair Claims Matter?
Housing disrepair claims are about more than financial compensation. They help hold landlords accountable and ensure tenants can live in safe, secure and habitable homes.
In this case, our client will receive damages for the period they were forced to live with disrepair, while also benefiting from the assurance that the necessary repair works must now be completed.
Legal Costs Recovered from the Landlord
The claim is a costs-bearing matter, meaning the Defendant landlord is also responsible for paying the Claimant’s legal costs.
This is an important aspect of housing disrepair litigation, as it helps ensure that access to justice is not undermined by the financial burden of bringing a legitimate claim against a landlord who has failed to carry out necessary repairs.
