Overview

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.

Module 1. Responsibilities and statutory control

Module 2. Disrepair versus improvements

Module 3. Repairs, consequences of non-compliance and defence

Module 4. Other duties which relate to disrepair

This Understanding Disrepair Responsibilities course focusses on:

  • Main statutory controls for repair and safety in housing
  • Understanding disrepair including responsibility and impact
  • Consequences of non-compliance and potential defences to a disrepair claim
  • Legislation relating to disrepair and importance of related legislative duties
  • Tenancy agreement and tenant handbooks on repair responsibilities.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
