Right to Repair Rotherham Council operates a Right to Repair scheme for periodic, fixed term and introductory tenants. This means secure tenants of Rotherham Council are entitled to: Have qualifying repairs carried out, at the Council’s expense, to the Council homes of which they are such tenants; and Receive compensation from their Council if qualifying repairs are not carried out within a prescribed period. Further detail can be found within The Secure Tenants of Local Housing Authorities (Right to Repair) Regulations 1994. Repairs available under the Right to Repair Scheme Only certain types of repairs are covered under the Right to Repair scheme. These are called qualifying repairs. They include insecure windows and doors, unsafe power sockets or electrical fittings, leaking roofs and broken entry phone systems. A repair won’t qualify for the scheme if: It exceeds an estimated cost of £250, or; Rotherham Council isn’t responsible for the repair The repair may be inspected before the Council decides it is a qualifying repair. If it isn’t a qualifying repair, we will let you know and tell you that the scheme doesn’t apply What happens when you report a qualifying repair? When you report a qualifying repair, we will issue a repair notice to the contractor and instruct them to attend the property without at the time and date that has been mutually agreed. There will be a gardentime limit by which the contractor has to do the work. The time limit will depend on the repair need. What happens if the work isn’t done in time? If the repair work isn’t done within the specified time limit, you need to inform the Council and they will take appropriate action to get the repair fixed; this may involve using a secondary contractor. What happens if you’re not in when the contractor calls? If you’re not at home to let the contractor in as arranged, the scheme no longer applies. You may be recharged for missed appointments. Claiming compensation If the repair doesn’t get fixed within an appropriate time, you will need to write to us with your claim, including all details and key dates. The Council will then consider the compensation request. Depending on the specific circumstances of your claim, you may be awarded £10 in compensation. For every extra day you wait, you’ll get another £2. The maximum compensation you can get for any one job is £50. If you refuse have any rent arrears, the Council can use the compensation to reduce the arrears rather than paying you the money.
