Lancaster Housing Association Tenant Responsibilities and Repair Obligations.

As a housing association occupant, you have a range of repair and maintenance responsibilities, primarily for features inside your home.
If you or someone visiting your house inadvertently or intentionally triggers damage, you’ll be the one accountable for fixing it.
If something occurs and repair work is required then you need to tell your landlord as soon as possible.
They may agree to carry out home repair work and upkeep themselves and after that recharge the cost to you, or they might agree to you fixing it.
By law, in every tenancy arrangement it will state that you must admit for repair work: your property manager or their representative deserves to access your house as long as they give you at least twenty-four hours notification.
In an emergency, for example if a pipe has burst, and they can’t contact you then they hold the right to enter the residential or commercial property without your permission.
You are accountable for utilizing your home in a “tenant-like” method, which typically suggests:.
Performing small repair work yourself i.e. changing fuses and light bulbs.
Keeping your house reasonably tidy.
Not causing damage to the property – consisting of visitors.
Using any fixtures and fittings properly, for example, not obstructing a toilet by flushing something inappropriate down it.
It is very important to note that at no point throughout the occupancy do you deserve to stop paying or refuse to pay lease.
Even if your landlord has actually failed to perform repair work, you must continue to pay lease up until completion of the tenancy.
If you think you should not have to pay the total, you can form a problem with the landlord in which you can mention your factors.
