Tenant Information Pack

This pack gives information to tenants in privately rented housing.

The pack contains a summary of legislation relevant to private tenants. Should you want more detailed legal information, or opinion, you should seek specialist advice. Click here to view our Tenant Information Pack.

Repairs and Responsibilities

It is important that you let us know immediately if any repair work is needed so we can act quickly to resolve all issues.
Please remember it is a condition of your tenancy agreement to do this. Delay or even failure to contact us about repair work may mean you could be held partially responsible, especially if the delay results in additional deterioration or damage.

Once you have informed us of any repairs, faults or problems, we will contact your landlord and act upon their instructions. We ask that you DO NOT instruct a contractor to undertake any work. If you do, it will normally be at your own expense.

If a repair is due to any tenant negligence, the tenant will be required to pay the cost of this at the time. Outstanding balances may be deducted from your deposit.

We undertake to have repairs carried out as quickly as possible. Sometimes the contractor appointed may set their own timescale for completing the repair, depending on how urgent it is. Please inform us if you are experiencing any lengthy delays after a contractor has been appointed. We will also be happy to provide the contractor’s details, if you believe a repair is taking longer than necessary.

Responsibilities

As tenants you are responsible for carrying out small repairs and maintenance to the property such as changing light bulbs, fuses and re-pressurising the boiler. We may ask you to replace smaller, broken items yourselves and reimburse you to prevent delays. If you need any advice or assistance, please contact us quickly.

Here’s a list of DIY repairs suitable for tenants:

  • Replacing Light Bulbs.
  • Replacing Batteries in smoke alarms, doorbells and thermostats.
  • Tightening loose screws, for example in door handles.
  • Checking fuses when they trip and replacing where required.
  • Bleeding Radiators.
  • Cleaning of mould if formed.
  • Re-pressurising the boiler

End of Tenancy

We’re sorry you are leaving and hope you’ve had a very good experience in your property.

If you would like to extend your stay or renew your lease, please contact your property manager who will discuss options with you and your landlord. Remember to give us plenty of warning that you want to stay! We need at least two months notice to make all the arrangements ready.

It is important that the move out process runs as smoothly as possible. This handy Move Out Guide will provide you with information to help guide you through the final stages and assist in the collection of your full deposit.
