Tenant's responsability

What am I responsible for repairing?

In some instances you are responsible for the upkeep of your home. These include:

  • Repairs that are needed as a result of damage caused by you or your family or visitors
  • Repairs to appliances, fittings etc which you have installed
  • Minor repairs (see below)
  • Sweeping the chimney
  • Broken glass.

If damage has been caused maliciously and you cannot provide us with a crime reference number from the police you will be also be charged for the repair.

If we attend to a repair and find the repair is needed due to neglect or misuse we may well charge you for the cost.

The minor repairs you are responsible for include:

  • Altering doors for carpets
  • Replacing lost or damaged keys
  • Small plaster cracks
  • TV aerials.
