Attention Landlords and Tenants:

If you are a landlord or live in a rented house or flat, then this post will help you understand your rights under the (Fitness for Human Habitation):

On 20 March 2019 a new law came into force to make sure that rented houses and flats are ‘fit for human habitation’,

This means that they are safe, healthy and free from things that could cause serious harm such as Radiation, Radon Gas, Damp and Mould.

Most landlords make sure that the houses and flats they rent out are safe. But some landlords do not, and this means that some tenants live in dangerous or unhealthy conditions.

If rented houses and flats are not ‘fit for human habitation’, tenants can take action against their landlords. The court can make the landlord carry out repairs or put right health and safety problems. The court can also make the landlord pay compensation to the tenant.
