In a rented property there are always confusions on whose duty it is to repair damages.
But in our topic, we will discuss the 5 most common tenant home repairs complaint.
1. LEAKS:
This could be a roof leak, burst pipes or even leaky faucets etc if left on attended it may lead to a bigger issue in the property. Leaks are one of the most common repairs or maintenance needed to be dealt with by either the landlord or the tenant in a property.
The great news is most leaks are easy to fix and cost less. While landlords have a duty to repair, tenants also have a duty to maintain and care for the property as well as informing the landlord as soon as they discover any leaks to prevent any further damages in the property.
2. BOILERS:
Gas leak can be very dangerous. Bad boilers are one of the most important repair problems landlords are faced with, not just because it’s important to keep a home properly heated up in the colder months but also for safety issues.
One of the most common issues with boilers are ‘drop in water pressures’. The landlord can tell or teach the tenant how to put the water pressure back up to the correct level this will enable the tenant resolve the issues themselves.
3. ELECTRICAL REPAIRS:
Electrical issues like flickering lights, bulb burnouts, circuit breaker keeps tripping and faulty light switch etc are common electrical problems in a rented property. it is always best to get a qualified electrician to investigate and repair any electrical issues you may experience.
4. ROOF ISSUES:
For much older properties roofs are among the most common problems. From broken or cracked roof tiles to crumbling cement and blocked or broken gutters water can enter into your property as a result of these issues.
These can cause further problems, such as rotting timbers and damp, so it is very important to get roof and gutter problems repaired quickly.
However, reporting any issues to the landlord will keep both parties in check.
5. RADIATORS:
After many months of not making use of radiators during the summer months, radiator mostly becomes an issue in the winter months when they immediately start to operate.
Tenant are entrusted with the daily maintenance of the home, including the central heating system and the radiators. Always checking that the radiator is in working order and taking immediate action to fix them should it be needed.
Regardless of whose responsible for the maintenance of the property, it is important to report any issues found early.
