Tenant Responsibilities and Insurance Insights
It is important to treat the property as if it was your own. If damage is caused to the property or the furnishings it will be the tenants that are liable – this is where tenant insurance is very important. For example, if a jar accidently falls on the hob and cracks a corner your tenant insurance will cover the cost of replacing the hob.
If a maintenance issue in the property is noticed it must be reported as soon as possible to help reduce any further damage that may occur. Please remember that changing lightbulbs and batteries in smoke detectors etc., bleeding radiators, changing fuses, unblocking drains, keeping seals etc. clean and free from mould, tightening loose screws on door handles and so on is all the tenants responsibility.
