Rent Repayment Orders exist because it is not fair that tenants have to suffer at the hands of rogue landlords who regularly break the law. Without consequence and enforcement, these landlords carry on and put tenants at risk every day.

Who Can Make a Claim?

You can apply for a Rent Repayment Order if:
  • You are a private tenant or former tenant;
  • The property was rented within the last 12 months;
  • The landlord committed a specific housing offence during your tenancy, such as failing to obtain a licence.
You don’t need legal representation to make a claim, but it helps. We work with experienced housing law specialists who can help you claim without the stress – on a no-win, no-fee basis, which means you pay nothing at all.
If your landlord has failed to obtain a licence if one is required, they have broken the law and you could be owed a rent repayment of up to 12 months!

For example: if your rent was £900 per month, your rent refund could be worth anywhere between £5,400 to £7,560

Frequently Asked Questions

A Rent Repayment Order is a legal ruling made by a housing tribunal that forces your landlord to pay back up to 12 months’ rent if they’ve broken certain housing laws. You can apply whether you’re still living there or have already moved out.

You can apply if:

  • You’re a private tenant or former tenant;
  • The offence happened within the last 12 months;
  • Your landlord committed a qualifying offence (like renting out an unlicensed property).

You don’t need a solicitor, but expert help can boost your chances of success.

The most common offences include:

  • Renting a property without the right HMO or selective licence
  • Illegal eviction or being locked out without proper notice
  • Harassment or threats from your landlord
  • Ignoring council improvement or safety notices
  • Breaching banning orders or overcrowding rules

If you’re unsure, we can check for you.

You can claim up to 12 months’ rent, even if you paid via Housing Benefit or Universal Credit.
Tribunals often award 50% to 100% of the total rent, depending on the case details and landlord behaviour.

Not usually. RRO claims are handled by the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), which is much less formal than a court. You may not need to attend in person, especially if you have someone helping you with your case.

Yes, they will be notified as part of the tribunal process. However, you have legal protection and your landlord cannot retaliate if the tenancy has ended. If you’re still living at the property, we’ll discuss safe options.

Yes – as long as the offence happened within the past 12 months, you can still claim, even if you’ve left the property.
