For tenants

You have the law on your side.

If you’ve reported damp, mould, leaks, or any hazard affecting your health and your landlord hasn’t fixed it within the statutory timescales, this site gives you the framework, the documents, and the practical steps to act.

Your resources, being built

The full tenant toolkit is in progress. Here is what’s already live.

We are currently building a full tenant resource set — free template letters, a rights guide, and an Action Pack. In the meantime, the following tools are already available and work for tenants as well as landlords.

COMPENSATION CALCULATOR

Estimate what you may be entitled to.

Enter your rent, the duration of the disrepair, and details of the rooms affected. The calculator returns an indicative range broadly aligned with the Housing Ombudsman compensation framework.
