What types of accidents can I make a rental accident compensation claim for?
You can make a rental property claim to receive compensation from your landlord or agent if they have failed to meet their duties and obligations as outlined in the tenant agreement, or if they failed to address or rectify complaints that have been made on an ongoing basis.
You may be able to claim tenant compensation if your landlord has breached their duty of care by being negligent in regards to your safety. You can claim for injuries, pain and suffering, or the death of someone close to you.
