Your tenancy agreement includes the following tenant’s duty:
To make good any damage and pay for the cost of any repairs to the property, its fixtures fittings and installations, and any other common areas, caused by the tenant members of your household, invited visitors or pets. The Association may carry out such works and charge the cost to the Tenant.
If, when you report a repair, it seems possible that the cost may have to be recharged, the staff member dealing with your call will explain this, and the process for informing you whether there will be a recharge and payment after that.
