Dealing with disrepair claims raised by tenants can be a time consuming and costly exercise. This course aims to provide a practical guide to dealing with these types of claims and those brought by tenants under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (“EPA”), including steps that can be taken by a landlord to minimise the risk of a claim being brought, and how to respond effectively to a claim when it is raised. The seminar gives practical pointers for resolving such claims quickly and cost effectively. Housing officers and surveyors/maintenance team members will certainly benefit from attending this briefing.
