Housing Disrepair

Housing disrepair refers to situations where a property has issues or damage that make it unsafe, unhealthy, or uncomfortable for its occupants. Common problems include leaks, mold, broken heating or plumbing, and structural defects. Landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the property and fixing these issues, ensuring it meets health and safety standards. If a landlord fails to repair serious problems, tenants may have legal rights to request repairs or seek compensation. Addressing housing disrepair is important for safety, habitability, and quality of life for residents.
