Claim against Housing Association in Belfast
At John Boston & Co, we recently handled a case on behalf of a client who faced numerous challenges with their Housing Association tenancy. Despite the client’s profound hearing difficulties, the opposing party persisted in contacting her via telephone, disregarding her preference for communication via email. Additionally, the client endured prolonged periods without heating during cold winters, with no efforts made to address the issue. Moreover, she was unjustly accused of anti-social behavior, despite being the actual victim of such conduct. Ultimately, the situation became unbearable for our client, forcing her to seek alternative accommodation. In response, we pursued legal action based on negligence, breach of contract, and Disability Discrimination. The case reached a settlement of £7,500. We understand the immense stress and difficulty that housing issues can impose on tenants. At John Boston & Co, we are dedicated to assisting clients in resolving such matters satisfactorily and securing maximum compensation for actionable breaches.
