DO YOU THINK YOUR LANDLORD BROKE THE RULES?


IF SO, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CLAIM COMPENSATION.

Check if you can claim


MANY LANDLORDS BROKE THE LAW



At HouseClaims.co.uk we check if Landlords in Wales and England have breached
legislation. These rules were implemented to protect you, the tenant, from
problematic Landlords.

We’ve identified several ways Landlords may have breached the legislation.

If any of them affected you, you might be able to claim compensation.

All you need to do is click one of the “Check if I can claim” buttons on this
page to see if you may be entitled to compensation.

Check if you have a claim



WAS YOUR DEPOSIT PROTECTED PROPERLY?



Legally, Landlords must place your deposit into one of the following deposit
protection schemes.



If they didn’t do this you may be able to claim a full refund of your deposit
plus 1-3 times the value of your deposit.

For example, if your deposit was £1,000, you could receive as much as £4,000!*

If you think your deposit wasn’t protected properly, click the button below

DID YOU GET THE RIGHT DOCUMENTATION?




LANDLORDS IN WALES MUST PROVIDE YOU WITH THE CORRECT DOCUMENTATION, WITHIN 14
DAYS OF MOVING IN. THERE ARE 2 DOCUMENTS THEY NEED TO PROVIDE.

The first is a “Written Statement” which should look something like this…



Or this…



The second is an “RHW2 form” which should look something like this…



Our experts can check to make sure you received the right documents. 

If you didn’t get the correct “Written Statement” you could receive up to 2
months of rent back. And, potentially double that amount if the landlord
intentionally did not provide this to you on time or at all.

For example, if your rent was £1,000 per month, you could receive as much as
£4,000.*

If you didn’t get the correct “RHW2” form you could receive up to 2 months rent
back. And, potentially double that amount if the landlord intentionally did not
provide this to you on time or at all.

For example, if your rent was £1,000 per month, you could receive as much as
£4,000.*

WAS A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR FITTED?



Carbon monoxide detectors are critical for your safety and are required to be
fitted in all homes.

If there was any point in your tenancy where you noticed there were no carbon
monoxide detectors installed, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

For this type of claim you could receive up to 100% of your rent back for the
period the property was in disrepair (“unfit for human habitation”) since 1st
Dec 2022 in Wales.

If you think you may have been put at risk because your property is or was unfit
for human habitation, click the button below
