The Landlord & Tenant laws are complex and diverse, placing numerous obligations on both the Landlord and Tenant regarding the use and maintenance of the subject property.
Whilst there is an implied requirement that the tenant will not abuse or misuse the subject property, the Landlord is required to keep certain areas of the subject property and, if applicable, any common areas in good repair.

The relevant acts applicable in this complex area of property law are:

• The Landlord & Tenant Act 1985
• The Housing Act 1985
• The Gas Safety (Legislation and Use) Regulations 1998
• The Environmental Protection Act 1990
• Defective Premises Act 1972
• The FURNITURE and FURNISHINGS (FIRE) (SAFETY) REGULATIONS 1993,
  as amended.
• HOUSING ACT 2004 IMPLEMENTATION - HMO REGULATIONS.

Detailed knowledge of these Acts allows MHP Surveyors to provide the most appropriate advice to both the Landlord & Tenant, when a dispute or a problem has occurred.
