Understand housing disrepair and preserve the right evidence
Observable condition versus cause
Record what you can see, smell or experience. Keep any landlord, contractor or surveyor explanation separately; photos alone do not diagnose cause.
Landlord versus tenant responsibility
Responsibility can depend on the problem, cause, tenancy terms, notice, access, damage, obligations and applicable law. Avoid absolute assumptions.
Damp and mould
Record locations, dates, recurrence, photos, reports, inspections, explanations and repair attempts without determining the cause yourself.
Reports, appointments and access
Keep repair references and distinguish provider delay from access, cancellation or missed-appointment complications.
Health and wellbeing
Record factual impact and existing documents only where relevant and voluntarily supplied. The builder does not diagnose or determine medical causation.
Rent and direct costs
Rent is recorded only for context. Direct evidenced expenditure is kept separate, and no rent-percentage or compensation calculation is made.

Common questions
How quickly must every repair be completed?
There is no single universal number for every repair. Urgency, safety, essential services, complexity, access and circumstances matter.
Should I withhold rent?
The builder does not advise withholding rent. That can have serious consequences; obtain appropriate advice before taking that step.
Does the builder send my information?
No. Ordinary DIY use remains in your browser unless you choose to download, copy or print.
