Ref section 104 of Tenancy Agreement
Tenants are urged to read the contract carefully, and request clarification if uncertain of any content.
It is impractical to detail all contractual Tenant liabilities in detail, and there are implied legal contract terms, consequently, tenants are advised to act in a ‘tenant like manner.”
Here is some examples of implied contact terms, which is not necessarily the full extent of possible things that could happen:
- A door Bell is provided and it is implied that a Puch Button is supplied at the outer door.
- On a routine Inspection it is noted that the Cooker Hood Fan Filters need replacing. If the tenant does not replace them and, as a consequence, the fan is damaged the Tenant is contractually liable to replace the Fan.
3) A Satellite Dish is fitted and the signal cable is installed at ceiling hight in the room by a tenant. There is no damage done to the internal room, however, it is generally accepted that people do not want unnecessary cables fitted down an internal wall. In this case a charge would be made to drill a new hole near the skirting board so the cable comes into the room near the floor.
4) If Wet wipes, Cotton buds or excessive fat are flushed down the Toilet and, as a result, the sewer has to be cleared: the cost of which will be back charged to the tenant responsible.
5) If a drier is to be used in the property, it must be a heat pump condensing drier otherwise the tenant is liable for the eradication of black mould.
The contract gives the major Tenant responsibilities and duty of conduct. Any contravention of the contract could result in works needing to be carried out, these will be billed as reasonable work to be undertaken. Unessarry correspondence or administrative work due to tenant unreasonable activities will be invoiced as per our fees.
Reasonable requests for a property inspection must be adhered to or charges could result.
We pride ourselves in the presentation of our properties, consequently, we expect agreed Tenant modifications to be done to our standards. If not, a charge will have to be made to bring the modification up our standards.
We abide by Noth Somerset Council’s:
West of England Code of Good Management Practice and
North Somerset HMO Licensing scheme-Undertaking of good practice, were appropriate.
Both of these documents are hypo-linked below for your convenience.
