Tenant FAQs
Detailed Answers To Common Disrepair Questions
Q01
How quickly should a landlord respond to a serious disrepair issue?
Response time depends on risk, but urgent health and safety issues should be treated immediately. RentDoctor helps you document urgency and follow up consistently if delays continue.
Q02
Do you help with mould, damp, leaks, and structural issues?
Yes. We support tenants across the full range of common disrepair problems, including mould, damp, water ingress, plumbing defects, heating failure, and structural concerns.
Q03
What evidence should I collect?
Capture repeated photos and video over time, room conditions, affected belongings, health impacts, and all communication logs. Include dates, times, and any temporary mitigation attempts.
Q04
Do you provide a free call-out report?
Yes. Where appropriate, we coordinate a free registered tradesperson inspection and issue a formal report to support remedial action requests.
Q05
What if repairs are attempted but the issue keeps returning?
Recurring failure is a key signal for escalation. We help you record recurring patterns and request root-cause remediation rather than temporary patchwork fixes.
Q06
Can I request written repair schedules and progress updates?
Yes. Clear scheduling and status updates reduce uncertainty. We provide communication structures that request firm milestones, attendance windows, and completion evidence.
Q07
Do you offer legal guidance and compensation support?
Yes. If repairs are not progressed after formal escalation, we provide free legal guidance and can help assess eligibility for financial compensation based on impact and evidence quality.
Q08
What does a good case close-out look like?
A proper close-out includes full repair completion, resident confirmation, documented outcomes, and a final evidence bundle for legal and future reference.
