We want you to enjoy living in your home, but you also have rights and responsibilities as part of your tenancy agreement.
Your tenancy agreement is a legal contract between you and us. It ensures we meet our responsibilities as landlords while you take care of your home, pay your rent on time, and be a considerate neighbour.
You will have signed and received a copy of your tenancy agreement before you move into your home. Please keep it in a safe place.
What are my responsibilities?
- Paying any rent and service charges
- Keeping your home in good condition and reporting any repair issues
- Ensuring you or your visitors do not cause any nuisance or annoyance to others
- Allowing access for mandatory repairs, gas servicing and electrical testing
- Maintaining your garden and communal areas to an acceptable level
- Requesting changes to your home so that we can give you the necessary permissions.
What are our responsibilities?
Here's a quick guide to the main points. We'll :
- Contact you if there’s a problem with how you’re managing your tenancy
- Carry out repairs which are reported to us in a timely manner
- Keep you informed of any planned maintenance and cyclical work required to your home
- Inform and consult with you on the rent increase and on any changes to the service you receive
- We won't enter your home without you providing access.
