6 min readHousing associationUpdated Oct 2026

Whatever's happened with your home, you're in the right place. We help council and housing association tenants nationwide. Here's what we know about London & Quadrant (L&Q).

A Housing Ombudsman special investigation found L&Q had a 13% severe maladministration rate across 30 local authorities, more than double the national average. If you're one of their tenants living with unresolved disrepair, here's what you can do.

If your landlord has ignored a repair you reported in writing, it is worth finding out where you stand.

You may be able to claim if

  • You're a tenant of London & Quadrant (L&Q) (or a home they manage under contract for a council, if applicable)
  • You've reported a repair (damp, mould, leaks, broken heating, structural issues, pests) and it hasn't been fixed within a reasonable time
  • The disrepair has affected your health, your belongings, or your ability to use part of your home

Legal basis and compensation

Housing associations have exactly the same legal repair duty as councils under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and the same Awaab's Law timescales for damp, mould and hazards since October 2025. London & Quadrant (L&Q) is a registered provider regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing and subject to Housing Ombudsman jurisdiction the same way a council landlord is.

This pattern of findings is one reason claims against London & Quadrant (L&Q) are being taken seriously by the regulator, and it can support your individual case.

Compensation typically reflects a rent-based reduction for the period the home was unfit to live in, damaged belongings, and, where relevant, the impact on your health or living conditions.
