Tenant responsibility

When you signed your tenancy agreement you entered a legally binding contract with the landlord to keep to the terms of the agreement. It is important you read your tenancy agreement carefully and understand what it says.

Your key responsibilities as a tenant include:

Care and Cleanliness

Take good care of the property. It is your responsibility to keep the property clean, tidy and in good decorative order. You will be liable if the property falls into disrepair through neglect and/or accidental damage.

Repairs

Report any repairs or damage quickly so we can fix it before it becomes worse. If damage is caused by you or a visitor, it must be repaired or paid for by yourself.

Rent and Additional Charges

Rent must be paid in full and on time, as laid out in your tenancy agreement. Other charges such as utilities and council tax must also be paid on time.

Pests

You must deal with a pest infestation in cases where it is caused by your own actions, e.g. by not taking the rubbish out.
