Landlord Duties and Statutory Repair Standards

Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 implies an absolute obligation into residential tenancy agreements that landlords must keep in repair the structure, exterior, and service installations of a dwelling.

Tenants living with persistent damp, mold, or structural disrepair have legal remedies to compel repairs and secure compensation for distress and inconvenience.
