Landlords



Whether you are a landlord or tenant, it is vital that you are aware of your legal rights and obligations. The law protects both parties and does not permit you to take the law into your own hands irrespective of circumstances

It is important that landlords fully understand their obligations. The Disability Discrimination Act, Sex Discrimination Act and Race Relations Act also apply to anyone letting, selling or managing premises. If you are in doubt about anything seek legal advice.

What is the landlord responsible for?



  • repairs to the structure and exterior of the property, heating and hot water installations, basins, sinks, baths and other sanitary installations
  • the safety of gas and electrical appliances
  • the fire safety of furniture and furnishings provided under the tenancy
  • ensuring that the property is fit for habitation
  • repairing and keeping in working order the room and water heating equipment
  • the common areas in multi-occupancy dwellings
  • providing an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to new tenants


What is the tenant responsible for?

  • paying the rent as agreed and taking proper care of the property
  • bills for gas electricity, telephone, etc if this was agreed with your landlord
  • in most cases, paying the council tax, water and sewerage charges
