Housing disrepair in Manchester: The hard facts

Manchester’s busy streets and thriving communities come with a downside, housing disrepair is a real problem for many tenants. According to a 2023 study by Hodge Jones & Allen, 75% of renters in Manchester have faced disrepair issues like leaks, mould, or damp during their tenancy. That’s three out of every four tenants dealing with substandard living conditions at some point.

The numbers get even more alarming when you dig deeper. The English Housing Survey (2022-23) found that 10% of private renters in the North West, over 100,000 households, live with dampness problems, with Manchester contributing a significant share. Meanwhile, Inside Housing reported that between 2017 and 2021, Manchester was part of a surge in disrepair claims against social landlords, with costs in major cities like ours reaching £48 million alongside Birmingham, Sheffield, and London boroughs. Whether it’s a mouldy flat in Withington or a leaking roof in Hulme, these stats show how common these issues are, and why you shouldn’t have to put up with them.
