Understanding Disrepair Responsibilities - CPD Certifies

Disrepair is not a widely used term. It is often difficult to interpret its meaning. As with any legal definition it can be open to interpretation. It will depend on each individual situation.

Generally speaking the housing provider and tenant have different responsibilities when it comes to the upkeep and repairs of a property. Where the repairs are the responsibility of the housing provider, they are obliged to carry out these repairs within a reasonable period of time of notification.
