Can I withhold my rent if my landlord fails to carry out repairs?


Before taking this course of action, we would recommend you take advise from either a solicitor, Citizens Advice Bureau or the Citizens Advice Service, as to do so can make you vulnerable to eviction for non-payment of rent.

However there is a process available to take this action but it must be pursued though the County Court.
