What Are Landlord Negligence Claims?
A landlord negligence claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have been injured or made ill because your landlord failed to keep your home safe and properly maintained. Landlords in the UK have a legal duty of care to ensure that rented properties meet safety standards.
If your landlord fails to repair hazards such as broken stairs, unsafe flooring, leaks, damp and mould, faulty wiring, or gas issues, and you suffer an injury or illness as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.
LITKRAFT can help you pursue a landlord claim, recover compensation, and ensure that your home is safe.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
