Case 202335961decided 24 March 2026
In case 202335961 (London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, decided 24 March 2026), the Housing Ombudsman’s most severe finding on the condition of the home was maladministration, on “Reports of a leak”.
What was decided, issue by issue
- maladministration — Reports of a leak (disrepair)
- no maladministration — Associated complaint (complaint handling)
Money was involved, but not as a single ordered total — the decision records 1 award, which may include sums the landlord had already offered. The index data sets out each one. It made 2 orders — an order binds the landlord, a recommendation does not.
- Apologise to the resident for the failures identified.
- Pay the resident £800.
