Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Disrepair (or more properly 'housing conditions') claims are on the rise. This book should be helpful to those receiving and responding to them. Such claims increased by 44% between 2012 and 2017 in England and Wales and they have continued to proliferate. In those five years Southwark LBC paid out about £10,000,000 in damages and costs. Sheffield City Council has disclosed that it has spent more than £1 million fighting disrepair claims within the last 2 ¿ years. There has been a 322% increase in cases, which they blame on claims management companies using 'aggressive marketing tactics' to attract tenants who are unhappy about the state of their homes during the pandemic. That has been greatly exacerbated by the inability on the part of all landlords to do repairs other than urgent works. Housing conditions claims are not just wasteful in terms of officer time and finances. They can be very stressful for those involved, particularly where landlords face large numbers of claims and their staff are already busy planning and carrying out repairs, maintenance and improvements. I anticipate that all landlords would prefer to direct their resources to repairs rather than legal fees. The book is more about the strategies needed to deal with disrepair litigation rather than the substantive law. If you are a tenant's representative, I hope that the book will help you to weed out good claims from the many which are at present gratuitously and unnecessarily issued. Fortunately, the Court of Appeal has just handed down a very helpful decision on an application for permission to appeal. In Hockett v Bristol City Council (2021) unreported, Ref: B2/2021/1025, Lord Justice Bean agreed with the approach which I conceived a number of years ago, and which has been approved of by many judges in the County Court. I hope that the application of that philosophy to disrepair claims will dramatically reduce the legal bills currently being paid by social landlords. Many of the complaints which tenants are making about housing conditions should never have involved lawyers. You'll need to buy the book to find out more about it though! The book also addresses how to respond to a disrepair claim in the event that ADR is not appropriate or fails to appease the tenant.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Disrepair (or more properly 'housing conditions') claims continue to rise in number - they have exploded since the first edition of this book was published. The new edition addresses the changes in the law and is more comprehensive.The increase in claims has been fuelled by the continued demise of the personal injury claims market for claimant solicitors. Almost all the major firms have turned to housing claims, and many new firms have entered the market. The scramble for tenant clients has caused many claimant lawyers to initiate ever less meritorious claims. Landlords will be familiar with the often grossly exaggerated lists of defects in claimant surveyors' reports and the overpricing of works allegedly necessary to remedy them. The websites advertising such legal services limit their offer of help to social housing tenants, leaving private tenants without lawyers. Private rented housing stock is in a far worse state of repair and condition than social housing.Housing conditions claims are not just wasteful in terms of officer time and finances. They can be very stressful for those involved, particularly where landlords face large numbers of claims and their staff are already busy planning and carrying out repairs, maintenance and improvements. All social landlords would prefer to direct their resources to repairs rather than legal fees.The book is more about the strategies needed to deal with disrepair litigation rather than the substantive law.Many tenants do not want to sue their landlord, and it is indisputable that most of the dissatisfaction which they have with the state of their home would be resolved if they engage in a lawyer-free problem-solving exercise before engaging solicitors.Fortunately, the Court of Appeal has just handed down a very helpful decision in Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil Conty Borough Council [2023] EWHC 1416 CA. It is now possible for one party in litigation to ask the court to stop the claim while alternative dispute resolution is attempted. In social housing this is best achieved through the operation of the landlord's internal complaints process ('ICP').The application of that philosophy to disrepair claims will dramatically reduce the damages and legal costs currently being paid by social landlords. Many of the complaints which tenants are making about housing conditions should never have involved lawyers. You'll need to buy the book to find out more about it though!If ADR through the ICP fails to address the tenant's wants and needs, and litigation continues, the book is intended to guide the landlord through the process and to provide some protection against significant awards of damages and/or costs.If you are a tenant's representative, the book will help you to weed out good claims from the many which are at present gratuitously and unnecessarily issued.…
