Repairs & Maintenance Disputes

Are you facing repairs and maintenance issues as a tenant or landlord? Whether it’s unresolved structural damage, faulty utilities, or disagreements over responsibilities, these challenges can be frustrating and financially draining. At Zain Legal & Co., we provide unreserved legal services to help you navigate repairs disputes while protecting your rights and interests.

It’s important to note that we do not engage in property management activities, as these are reserved legal services. Our role is to offer guidance, representation, and assistance within the scope of unreserved legal activities.

Understanding Repairs & Maintenance in the UK

Repairs and maintenance disputes often arise when either party fails to fulfill their responsibilities as outlined in UK Repairs Law:

• Landlords are typically responsible for major structural repairs, maintaining heating systems, and ensuring safety compliance.
• Tenants are usually responsible for minor repairs, such as replacing light bulbs or keeping the property clean.

When disputes occur, knowing your rights and obligations is crucial to resolving issues effectively and fairly.
