The case:
Following a recommendation, our client who was dealing with persistent housing disrepair issues in her home, dating back 6-7 years, got in touch with our housing disrepair team. The landlord had been unresponsive to multiple repair requests, leaving the client living in less-than-ideal conditions. Mould, damp, leaks, cracked ceilings and walls were just a few of the problems that had been ignored for far too long.
How we helped:
True Solicitors stepped in with a comprehensive strategy. We started by thoroughly reviewing the client’s situation, including all correspondence with the landlord. Our team crafted a strong case, emphasizing the urgency of the repairs needed for the client’s health and safety. We then communicated directly with the landlord, making it clear that we were prepared to take legal action if necessary. This proactive approach created a sense of urgency that had been lacking in previous communications. Our efforts paid off quickly. With our involvement, the landlord finally responded, and we were able to facilitate a timeline for the necessary repairs along with a compensation settlement. The client was thrilled that as a result of our involvement, the landlord responded and repairs swiftly began to move along after months of inaction.
Our client commented:
