Are you in Emotional Distress just about every day due to your house problems constantly stacking on you and being super taxing on both your well-being as well as financially? Is your council house or housing association avoiding those problems constantly and you are tired of it? Well in this article, we shall look at some of the professional’s guidance on how you can use your landlord for Emotional Distress, as well as the things required for filing your claim.
In this blog, we will be discussing the following points:
As a tenant, the law has given you the following rights:
If you are willing to know about your landlord, you must write a letter to the authority you pay rent. If there is no reply from your landlord, you will be eligible for a claim after 21 days of no reply from the forwarded letter.
Law has not only given rights to the tenants. Some rights are given to the landlords too, It’s the responsibility of every tenant to follow them.
Some of the responsibilities that a tenant must follow are:
The landlord may take legal action and give you the order to evict the home if the responsibilities are not met.
In case he fails to fulfil your right, you might think of suing the landlord for emotional distress. But before that, you should make sure that you have already notified your landlord once or twice. After the notice, if you see no progress, you may file an emotional distress claim. If your landlord has violated the duty of care, you may go for a claim that could be either physical or psychological.
Here are the steps that one should follow while filing a claim:
If you are aiming to go for emotional distress, you must prove one of three symptoms:
It means, that the claimant must provide pictures or solid proof of the damage he has attained.
The claimant also has proof of text messages, a letter, or a call record. It is necessary to show that he has notified the landlord before, and still, no action was taken.
Medical reports must be submitted to prove the injuries that were caused by the landlord.
If you get caught in any emotional distress that was caused by your landlord, you may be entitled to a minimum payout of £1,500. However, it may increase depending on the severity of the psychiatric damage.

The landlord paid the bond and one month's rent when we asked if he was paying any more rent he refused and has left us in great difficulty to raise the rest of the money. I am not sleeping and some days can't go to work because I am so upset and stressed at the position we have been left in.
