English law is clear: your landlord must always secure a dependable source of heat or hot water for you as their tenant. Every room should be equipped with either central heating systems or space-heating devices to keep it warm, as well hot water available upon request!
Your landlord bears the responsibility to preserve and maintain any hot water, heating systems, or electric heaters they have installed on the premises. The security of all those living in a building relies on having well-functioning heating and hot water systems; thus it is mandatory for your landlord to ensure that these appliances remain in optimal condition. If there are ever problems with either system, repairs must be done quickly – at no cost to you!
Landlords must assume the utmost responsibility for their rental properties and make sure all systems, such as water pipes, heating solutions, drainage facilities and other necessities like gas or electricity are functioning well. It is essential to promptly address any issue concerning water leakage in these residences under your supervision; swift action will be necessary to successfully handle the matter.
They must also ensure that the property is safe and fit for human habitation. If water damage has resulted from a water leak, the landlord may also be responsible for repairing this damage.
In most situations, a landlord can’t terminate your tenancy until the problem they are responsible for has been addressed. However, if your landlord has neglected to address an issue that makes living in the property unsuitable for you and your family’s needs, then it may be necessary to leave earlier than agreed. Despite being secure and suitable for human residence, this would give you sufficient grounds on which to take action.
Council & Housing association landlords are responsible for exterior repairs to a rental property, including damage to doors and windows. This responsibility exists even if the rental agreement says that the tenant is responsible for repairs.
Landlords should take it upon themselves to regularly inspect their property, particularly any external windows and doors. Not only can an unmaintained entrance or exit cause mould growth, but could potentially be a threat to security as well. So if you detect anything from broken door handles or locks, deteriorated sealants and window frames, flawed hinges or shattered glass – make sure these are addressed in a timely manner!
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.
