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.
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.
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.
Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 demands that all landlords must address any essential exterior or structural repairs needed for their rented properties. This is more than just typical upkeep – anything from a repair task which impacts the physical structure to one affecting its overall aesthetic falls under this particular legal provision.
The landlord is accountable for eliminating any security risks present in or around the property with their own capital. While your lease may account for you to do some minor maintenance, like replacing light bulbs, most major repairs are not your responsibility.
