  • Repairs responsibility

Tenant – Light bulbs, damage to another property due tenants action for instance leak damage extended to the next flat, damages to the property caused by tenants family and friends. Tenants should only carry out repairs if the tenancy agreement says they can.

Landlord –  Property structure and exterior including plasterwork, all sanitary fittings including pipes and drains, heating and hot water, electrical wiring, gas pipes, appliances, flues and ventilation, any damage caused by repairs.

  • Energy efficiency 

As of 1 April 2018, you can ONLY grant new tenancies and renewals of existing tenancies for properties which have a minimum energy efficiency rating of E. So if your property has a rating of F or G – you will be letting the property illegally.

As of 1 April 2020, this will apply also to all existing tenancies. Whether they are within their fixed term or running as a periodic tenancy.  So you will not be able to let ANY properties which have a rating of F or G – unless there is an exemption.
