What about outstanding repairs?
When you exchange tenancies, you will take over the rights and responsibilities of the tenant you have exchanged with. This means that any repairs which were the original tenant’s responsibility become your responsibility. Make sure that you have checked your new home thoroughly before you apply. If you are not sure who is responsible for repairs, speak to the appropriate landlord. We will carry out routine maintenance to our properties as part of our repairs and maintenance service.
Please note
If you have a
temporary tenancy or an introductory tenancy granted under the terms of
the Housing Act 1996, you do not have the right to exchange.
