Tenant Responsibilities 

Tenants are responsible for day‑to‑day upkeep, minor repairs, and any damage caused within the home. These tasks fall under normal household maintenance.

Tenants typically handle:

• Clearing blockages in sinks, baths and drains
• Replacing light bulbs
• Internal doors, handles and locks
• Keys, fobs and lock changes
• Curtain rails, battens and poles
• Floor coverings you have installed (carpet, vinyl, laminate)
• Garden maintenance, including trees
• Bleeding radiators
• Removing mould using household cleaners
• Replacing toilet seats, plug chains and sealant
• Minor tiling or grouting repairs
• Damage caused by forced entry (e.g., police)
• Sheds or personal outdoor items

These are small tasks that do not require specialist contractors.
