Landlord's responsibilities
Where you are responsible as a landlord
Understanding your responsibilities as a landlord is crucial. They are responsible for ensuring that their properties are safe and habitable. This includes regular maintenance, adhering to health and safety regulations, and ensuring all necessary inspections and certifications, such as Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), are up to date. Additionally, landlords must safeguard their tenants’ deposits through registered schemes and ensure compliance with the government’s Rental Reform rules. By staying informed about these responsibilities, they can avoid potential legal issues and maintain healthy tenant relationships.
Tenant's responsibilities
What your tenant legally needs to do
Tenants, too, have a set of responsibilities that are essential for a smooth tenancy. For instance, they must pay rent in a timely manner, maintain the property in good condition, and inform their landlord of any necessary repairs. Furthermore, respecting the terms of the tenancy agreement, including rules regarding subletting or having guests, is crucial. First4LandlordAdvice supports landlords in ensuring their tenants understand these obligations, facilitating a harmonious living environment that protects both parties’ interests.
