How long can Lower-Cambourne housing associations & council landlords leave you without hot water or heating?

By law, your landlord is mandated to guarantee that you have access to dependable hot water and/or heat at any given time. As a tenant, it’s your legal right to receive central heating or space-heating facilities in all rooms of the house. You are also entitled to boiling water services when needed.

As a tenant, you have the right to expect your landlord to responsibly maintain all hot water and heating systems as well as appliances that they have set up. Furthermore, it is essential for these devices to be in proper working order; if any problems arise with the heaters or other related equipment within your rental property, then it is incumbent on them to promptly repair and pay for necessary maintenance expenses.

My roof is leaking, can I claim compensation?

As a landlord, it’s your responsibility to guarantee that all elements of your rental property are well-maintained and functioning properly. This includes plumbing, drainage pipes, gas and electricity systems as well as any other installations. If there is ever an issue with water leakage in the home you oversee, then you must act quickly to resolve it effectively – no excuses!

As a landlord, it is essential to guarantee that the home is safe and suitable for renters. If water damage has been caused by a leak from any pipes or other sources within the rental property, you as the landlord are responsible for fixing this issue before your tenants can move in.

Furthermore, landlords must repair any issues before they can terminate the tenancy of their tenants. Even if your property is secure and meets all residential standards, you still have a right to act if it fails to live up to expectations that are important for your family’s wellbeing. On special occasions, this could include leaving prior to the end date listed in the agreement with your landlord.

Who is responsible for windows and doors in a rented property?

As a landlord of a Council or Housing Association property, it is your responsibility to ensure that exterior repairs are made on the building, including any damage done to doors and windows. Despite what your rental agreement maintains, you must take charge in upholding these requirements for tenants’ safety and security.

Failing to do so can cause serious problems such as mold growth or safety hazards. Landlords should check for indicators of wear-and-tear like eroded sealants, broken door handles/locks, rotten window frames, faulty hinges or broken glass; ensuring too that all external openings remain draughtproof and damp free when closed properly.

Can i make a disrepair claim for external issues with the building?

As dictated by Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, landlords are obligated to attend to any essential structural or external repairs needed on their rented property. Such repair works range from maintaining its structure to refreshing its aesthetic appeal.

Not only should the landlord be aware of and address safety hazards within the property or its vicinity, but they must also cover any costs associated with repairs. Although you may have to take charge of minor maintenance issues like changing light bulbs according to your lease agreement, landlords are accountable for any major structural renovations that arise.
