What landlords need to know about their obligations
Landlord Responsibilities for Damp and Waterproofing
Landlords in the UK are legally required to ensure their rental properties are free from serious hazards – and that includes basement leaks, rising groundwater, and mould caused by damp.
Under both the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, it's a legal duty to:
Maintain the structure and exterior of the property
Keep the property safe and habitable
Address any issues that could affect the health of tenants
That means if a basement suffers from leaks, groundwater ingress, or persistent damp, it must be repaired quickly and properly. Failure to do so could mean:
Rent reductions ordered by the courts
Compensation claims from tenants
Enforcement notices from local authorities
Difficulty obtaining landlord insurance
We help landlords stay compliant, avoid disputes, and keep tenants safe – all with properly guaranteed work that's respected under current UK law.
Don't just take our word for it - hear from our satisfied clients
Quick, clean, and professional – we were kept informed at every step and our basement hasn't had a drop of water since.
