Maintenance in houses for students

As a tenant of your student property you need to understand which maintenance matters you should tend to and which are the landlord’s responsibility and should be reported to the letting agent. Most professional tenancy agreements for student accommodation detail everyone’s responsibilities, so do read the small print. If you damage anything by neglect, or by inexpert ‘fixing’, your deposit will be docked. Many landlords have maintenance contracts with companies offering 24/7 call-out for repairs of all kinds.
