No tenant wants to suffer a personal injury in their home, however if you have suffered as a direct result of your landlord’s negligence then you may be entitled to some monetary compensation.
Your landlord has a responsibility to ensure the property is fir for purpose and safe to live in. The landlord is responsible for the maintenance of the following;
The structure of the building, including;

- Roofs
- Walls
- Windows
- The pipes and plumbing

- The sewage and drainage
- The common areas, which include
- Staircases

If you suffer an injury due to your landlord neglecting – intentionally or otherwise – their duties to keep the above safe and in order then you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim.
An injury may be caused by tripping, falling or slipping on damaged parts of the property but it can also be a medical issue brought on as a result of other issues such as;
- Asbestos
- Damp
- Faulty Electrics
