Appliance Failure Claims Experts

When appliances your landlord is responsible for break down and aren’t repaired, everyday life can become difficult and, in some cases, unsafe. If your landlord has failed to fix a faulty appliance, you could be entitled to compensation and have it put right. Our specialists help tenants take action on a No Win No Fee basis.

What Is an Appliance Failure Claim?

When you rent a property that comes with appliances, you have a right to expect them to work safely and reliably. If a landlord-supplied cooker, boiler, or other appliance breaks down and the landlord fails to repair or replace it, tenants can be left without essentials like cooking facilities, heating, or hot water. An appliance failure claim allows tenants to seek compensation where a landlord fails to maintain the appliances they are responsible for.

The key to these claims is responsibility. A landlord is generally responsible for appliances and systems they provided or that form part of the tenancy — such as a supplied cooker, a boiler, or heating and hot water systems. This is different from appliances the tenant owns and brought themselves. Where a landlord-supplied appliance becomes faulty or unsafe, ignoring the problem can leave you without basic facilities and, in some cases, create genuine safety risks.

Under UK law, landlords must keep the appliances and systems they are responsible for in safe, working order and ensure the property remains fit to live in. If you have reported a faulty appliance and your landlord has failed to act within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to claim compensation and have it repaired. Our team helps tenants understand their rights and hold landlords to account.

Can You Make an Appliance Failure Claim?

You may be eligible to make an appliance failure claim if:

  • You live in a rented property (council, housing association, or private).
  • The faulty appliance was supplied by your landlord or forms part of the tenancy.
  • You reported the problem to your landlord or letting agent.
  • Your landlord failed to repair or replace it within a reasonable time.
  • The failure affected your safety, comfort, or ability to live normally.

If these circumstances apply to you, our team can assess your case and explain your options. Keeping a record of when you reported the problem — along with dated photographs — can strengthen your claim.

Appliance Failure Claim FAQs

Is my landlord responsible for repairing appliances?
It depends on who provided the appliance. Landlords are generally responsible for appliances and systems they supplied or that form part of the tenancy, such as a fitted cooker, boiler, or heating system. Appliances you brought yourself are usually your own responsibility, which is why establishing what was supplied is important.
Compensation depends on how essential the appliance is, how long it went unrepaired, and the impact on your daily life. Being left without cooking facilities, heating, or hot water for an unreasonable time can increase the value of a claim. We’ll give you a realistic idea after assessing your case.
This depends on how essential the appliance is. A broken boiler or cooker affecting heating, hot water, or the ability to prepare food is usually treated as urgent and should be dealt with quickly. Less essential items may reasonably take longer, but ongoing delays can amount to a breach of the landlord’s duties.
Helpful evidence includes dated photographs of the faulty appliance, copies of the reports or complaints you sent your landlord, your tenancy agreement or inventory showing what was supplied, and any repair reports relating to the appliance.
