You are responsible for paying the rent and any utilities, notifying your property manager or the Landlord of any maintenance issues and ensuring the property is kept in the condition that it was originally let, however there is obviously an exception for any fair wear and tear. As part of the lease agreement your Landlord will be obliged to carry out repairs during the tenancy, resolve any maintenance issues and keep the property habitable for you. At the start of the tenancy please notify the suppliers of gas, electricity and water as well the local council that you have moved in to the property and that all utility bills and council tax should be in your name. Where we are managing the property we will write to the utility suppliers on your behalf, however it does remain your responsibility to ensure the bills are transferred into your name.
