A landlord's responsibilities
A landlord is anyone or an entity that owns real estate which they then lease or rent out to tenants. Landlords have many duties and it involves a lot more than just collecting rent.
Their duties and responsibilities apply to a wide range of accommodation and they are often responsible for the following:
-
Repairing the structure and exterior of the property.
-
Repairing heating, water systems, sinks, baths, basins, and other sanitaryware.
-
Regularly carrying out gas and electrical checks to ensure that these essentials work safely and correctly.
-
Checking the fire safety of furnishing and furniture that are provided under the tenancy.
-
Ensuring that the property is safe for habitation for tenants.
-
Maintaining the common areas in properties that are multi-occupancy.
The landlord is also entitled to enter the property in order to inspect and carry out repairs.

Our top 5 tips to help sell your home
1. Good landscaping will transform the exterior look and feel of your home and give you a higher price. Hire a landscaper or do it yourself.
2. Your front door is the centrepiece of your kerb appeal so repaint it in a tasteful colour. Update the outside lights and put potted plants on either side of the door.
3. The entrance hall creates a first impression… make sure it is the right impression. Paint it in a neutral colour, remove any bulky furniture, upgrade the lighting and if you feel you need colour add it with accessories and a rug.
4. The wrong lighting can make your home feel dark and drab so install brighter modern lights to make your home seem sunny, cheerful and up to date.
5. Paint colour is such a personal choice and potential buyers are likely to want to customise it themselves. If you have dark rich colours then repaint in neutral hues.
