Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act

The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act requires landlords in England to ensure that their rental properties are safe and suitable for living. This means homes must be in good repair, free from serious health risks, and provide basic necessities, like clean water and proper heating. If a landlord fails to meet these standards, tenants can take legal action to seek improvements or compensation. The aim is to protect tenants' rights and ensure that everyone has access to a safe and comfortable living environment.
