How long does a landlord have to fix a problem?
How long should you give your landlord to repair your home?
The short answer is a reasonable time. This is usually about two months.
Every case is obviously different but if your landlord has not fixed or even attempted to fix your house or flat then you should seek legal help. We can only help you if you have complained to your landlord 2 months ago and they have not started repairs.
You are then entitled to compensation after the 2nd month. You can use our calculator to see how much you could get.
