We will keep in good repair the structure and exterior of the house, including:

• The roof

• Outside walls, outside doors, window sills, window catches and window frames

• Floors and ceilings, doors, door frames and internal staircases and landings

• Chimneys and flues

• Pathways, steps and other means of access

• Boundary walls and fences (where supplied by the Co-operative)

 

We will keep in proper working order, any installations we have provided for space heating, water heating and sanitation and for the supply of water, gas and electricity, including:

• Basins, sinks, baths, toilets, flushing systems, waste pipes and showers

We will not be responsible for the maintenance of anything installed by the tenant or belonging to the tenant which they would be entitled to remove from the house at the end of the tenancy unless we have agreed to it in writing.

​

We will inspect annually any gas installations in the house provided by us. We will provide the tenant with a copy of the inspection report within 28 days of the inspection.

If your house is served by a communal television aerial provided by us, we will take reasonable steps to repair any defect within 3 working days.
