REPAIR TIMETABLE. The Tenant undertakes to notify the Landlord in writing as soon as is reasonably practicable of the need for any repair or emergency. The Landlord is responsible for carrying out necessary repairs as soon as is reasonably practicable after having been notified of the need to do so. The Tenant must allow the Landlord reasonable access to the Let Property to enable the Landlord to fulfil their duties under the Repairing Standard (see the clause on 'Access for Repairs').

The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord shall be entitled to effect forcible entry to the Let Property if the Tenant refuses or fails to allow such access.
REPAIR TIMETABLE. Often, a landlord will only find out that something in the property is not working or needs to be repaired when the tenant tells their landlord about it. The tenant must tell the landlord as soon as they can about any repair being needed or if there is something urgent. The landlord then has to carry out any repairs as soon as they reasonably can. The tenant must give the landlord reasonable access to get the repair work done. What is a reasonable period to carry out repairs will vary depending on the type of repair which is needed and how dangerous or unsafe it might be to leave that item not repaired. If the landlord does not carry out repairs within a reasonable period, the tenant can ask the Tribunal to order the landlord to carry out these repairs. Also, for some major repairs or those that cause a safety issue, the tenant might be able to get the local council to order the landlord to do the work or the local council might do the work and ask the landlord to pay the costs. The local council also has powers to report the landlord to the Tribunal for their failure to meet the Repairing Standard.
