You deserve a safe, comfortable home
Too many renters live with damp, mould, cold and unsafe conditions that harm their health. You don't have to be one of them.
The problems we help put right
If part of your home is unsafe, unhealthy or simply not working, and it is your landlord's job to fix it, you have rights. These are the issues renters come to us with most.
Damp & mould
Black mould on the walls, condensation running down the windows, that musty smell. Often a sign of a leak or poor ventilation your landlord should put right.
Leaks & water damage
Dripping pipes, a leaking roof, a shower that seeps through to the floor below. Left unfixed, they ruin your belongings and your health.
Broken heating & hot water
A dead boiler, cold radiators, or no hot water for days. A home you cannot keep warm is not one you should have to live in.
Pest infestations
Mice, rats, cockroaches or bed bugs. When they get in through disrepair or gaps in the building, dealing with them is your landlord's job.
Unsafe electrics
Exposed wiring, dead sockets, or a missing safety certificate. Electrical faults are dangerous, and landlords have strict duties to keep them safe.
Broken windows, doors & locks
Windows that will not close, a front door that will not lock, broken security. Your home should be weatherproof and secure.

Get your home put right
Remedy helps you prepare your case and understand the official routes that may apply. If you need legal help, we suggest solicitors who take on cases like yours, and your organised case file puts you in the best position to approach them. Any firm is independent and sets its own terms.
“They informed me of rights I didn't even know I had, guided me throughout the whole process, and displayed excellent customer service and professionalism.”

TrustpilotDamp and mould, leaks, broken heating or hot water, faulty electrics, pest infestations and structural problems all count. As a rule, if part of your home is unsafe or not working and it is your landlord's job to fix it, it is likely disrepair.
In most tenancies your landlord must keep the structure, heating, water and electrics in repair. Whoever caused the problem often matters less than you might think. We help you work out where responsibility sits before you raise it.
That is exactly when written evidence counts. We help you document what you reported and when, then escalate to the right body, the council's environmental health team or, for social housing, the Housing Ombudsman, with letters that are hard to ignore.
Retaliatory eviction is treated seriously, and the rules changed under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. We will explain where you stand and help make sure raising a repair does not leave you exposed.
The initial assessment, your report and your case preparation are free. Any paid Remedy service is optional and its price and terms are shown before you agree. If you go on to instruct a solicitor, the firm is independent and explains its fees before you decide whether to proceed.
