Responsibilities of your Landlord

Your landlord will normally have to give you:

  • A gas safety certificate
  • An energy performance certificate
  • Information on under which scheme your deposit is being held
  • A copy of 'How to Rent' the checklist for renting a property in England as published by the Department of Communities and Local Government
  • The terms of your contract and his name and address

Your landlord is responsible for making sure the property is well managed, kept in good repair and provides a safe and healthy environment. Your landlord cannot harass you or enter your room without notice. If you have a problem with the property try and sort it out with your landlord. If this is not possible, please contact us.
