Housing disrepair claims in Dewsbury are governed by clear landlord duties set out in the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, and Awaab’s Law.
Below are the most frequent housing disrepair problems we help tenants across Dewsbury deal with:
Ongoing damp, black mould on walls or ceilings, mould growing on furniture or clothing, and moisture trapped behind cupboards or wardrobes. Under Awaab’s Law, serious damp and mould issues are now classed as urgent due to the health risks involved. Where landlords delay or ignore repairs, tenants may be able to bring formal damp and mould disrepair claims. Where landlords delay or ignore repairs, tenants may be able to bring formal damp and mould disrepair claims.
Leaks from roofs, gutters, internal pipework or neighbouring flats can lead to stained ceilings, damaged personal belongings and long-term structural deterioration if left unresolved, often requiring specialist support through plumbing and drainage disrepair claims.
Faulty boilers, intermittent heating, or a complete lack of hot water—particularly during colder months—are a clear breach of a landlord’s legal responsibilities. These cases are commonly pursued as boiler and heating system disrepair claims.
Unsafe electrics such as exposed wiring, sparking plug sockets, frequent power trips or faulty fuse boards pose serious safety and fire risks. If electrical faults remain unresolved, tenants may need support through formal electrical fault disrepair claims.
Problems with rats, mice, insects or other pests caused by disrepair, gaps in the structure, water leaks or poor maintenance fall under the landlord’s responsibility when linked to the condition of the property.
Cracked ceilings or walls, loose or blown plaster, rotten window frames, damaged doors or other structural issues that affect safety and the overall condition of the home, including issues involving windows and doors disrepair claims.
Lack of proper ventilation in kitchens or bathrooms, broken extractor fans, sealed or non-opening windows, and persistent condensation that leads to damp or mould growth.
Leaking sinks, broken units, cracked baths or showers, unsafe flooring, or unusable appliances that make essential living spaces unsafe or impractical to use.

Poor housing conditions are not just inconvenient—they can have serious consequences for your physical and mental health. The law recognises that hazards such as damp, mould, cold homes and unsafe electrics must be addressed promptly under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 and Awaab’s Law (2024).
Below are some of the most common health issues reported by tenants in Dewsbury:
Damp and mould release spores into the air that can worsen asthma, cause wheezing, coughing and lead to long-term respiratory problems—especially in children.
Cold, damp living conditions increase the likelihood of chest infections, sinus problems and recurring illnesses due to poor indoor air quality.
Exposure to mould, moisture and dust mites often causes skin irritation, rashes and flare-ups of existing allergies or eczema.
Living in cold or poorly ventilated homes, or dealing with constant safety concerns, can contribute to headaches, dizziness and ongoing tiredness.
Ongoing disrepair can take a toll on mental wellbeing. Persistent leaks, damp smells, noise issues or cold rooms often disrupt sleep and increase daily stress levels.
Children, elderly residents and vulnerable tenants are particularly affected by poor housing conditions, making timely repairs even more critical under current housing laws.
