Birley Carr Housing Association Tenant Responsibilities and Repair Obligations.
As a housing association renter, you have a range of repair and maintenance commitments, mainly for functions inside your home.
For instance, if you or someone visiting your house unintentionally or deliberately triggers damage, you’ll be the one responsible for fixing it.
If something happens and repair is needed then you must tell your property owner as soon as possible.
They may agree to carry out property repair work and maintenance themselves and then charge the expense to you, or they may agree to you fixing it.
By law, in every occupancy agreement it will specify that you need to admit for repair work: your landlord or their representative has the right to access your house as long as they provide you at least twenty-four hours notification.
In an emergency situation, for example if a pipeline has burst, and they can’t contact you then they hold the right to go into the property without your consent.

Carrying out minor repairs yourself i.e. changing merges and light bulbs.
