Tenants Guide

Area
The best recommendation is word-of-mouth. Ask friends, family and colleagues about the areas they live in. Walk around the area that you would like to rent in and see if you could be happy living there. Also, invest in a map of the area!

Viewings
Take time on your viewings and always make a list of things that are important to you in a property. This will save you time and will make sure that you are completely satisfied with your new property.

Contract
Before you sign the contract, ensure that all relevant appliances have fire certificates, that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are fitted, and that there is a clear means of escape in case of a fire. The Fire and Furniture Regulations act of 1988 states that furnishings should be clearly labelled to prove that they meet standards. 

Moving In 
If a property is advertised as “fully-furnished”, it should come with furniture, plus crockery, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans etc. If it is “un-furnished”, expect only the basics, such as carpets and light-fittings. However, provision may differ in different markets, and will depend on what kind of property it is, so be prepared to adjust your expectations.

Check the inventory
This should include everything the landlord has provided with the property. If there is no inventory, contact the landlord or lettings agency as you must draw one up. An inventory should include all items the landlord has supplied; furniture, soft furnishings, crockery, electrical appliances etc. It should also state the condition of each item when you move in. You must check over the inventory, and sign to say you agree that everything on it is present and in the condition described. The landlord or letting agent must do the same. This is really important, as you do not want to be liable for any damage or wear which is not your fault. Keep a copy safe. 

Insurance
When you rent a home, you are responsible for arranging your own insurance to cover your personal belongings. The landlord should provide cover for buildings, fixtures and fittings and their own contents. It is worth checking that this is in place. 
It is your responsibility to make sure that any furniture you bring with you will fit into the rented property: the landlord is not going to be happy if you have to take the window out to get your bed in. Consider putting all non-essential items in storage.

If you have a problem 
Knowing who is responsible for what is vital for cordial tenant/landlord relations. As a rule, landlords have responsibility for the structure of the property, the exterior (such as the roof) and the safety and provision of services including gas, electricity and water. As a tenant, you are expected to behave in a “tenant-like manner”. This means that you must keep your home clean and in good order inside and out, report any breakages or malfunctions immediately, attend to minor maintenance matters such as replacing batteries in smoke alarms, keeping the property warm, free from damp and secure etc. 
Keep copies of all documents such as receipts and estimates for work, and take photographs of damage, damp patches, etc for evidence. 

First and foremost, contact Apex Housing Solutions in person with your problem, it is in our best interest to put an end to your problems.
