Housing disrepair typically means a rented home or any other type of rented accommodation that is in need of repairs in order for it to qualify as safe and suitable for renters to live.
If you are renting a property that requires repair, you could seek compensation for the inconvenience, discomfort, and suffering. After all, landlords are required by law to ensure that the property they rent out to tenants is structurally in a good state of repair, these requirements include:

Your Landlords have the responsibility to What You Can claim For
Legally, a landlord is responsible for the below:
‍
1) Providing access to working sanitation e.g. toilets, sinks etc.
2) Ensuring your gutters and drains are clear and working well
3)Ensuring your heating system works well and that you have safe access to electricity (and/or gas) and water
4) Ensuring your home is free from vermin or insect infestation
5) Ensuring your home is free from mould and damp
6) Ensuring your home is in a good state of repair structurally
Remember: It is your landlords legal responsibility to ensure the property you’re living in meet these basic standards and is in a comfortable living position for you and your family. 
If you feel the home you are living in does not meet these standards and you have already complained to your landlord or housing association and the problems have persisted for 6 months or more, it is your right to claim.
