Rechargeable Repairs
The Council will carry out repairs - and charge tenants for the cost of the repairs - when they are due to damage or negligence by tenant or their visitors. These types of repairs are called rechargeable repairs.
Some common rechargeable repairs are:
- gaining entry and renewing of locks if the keys are lost
- replacing of glass where the damage is caused by the tenant and not a third party
- clearing of blocked waste pipes
- replacing of damaged fixtures and fittings where the damage is malicious or through neglect
- putting right poor DIY projects
- clearing rubbish and belongings in empty properties
- replacing floor tiles where carpets have been removed
For further information and advice on rechargeable repairs, contact your local neighbourhood housing office.
