Common use of THE REPAIRING STANDARD Clause in Contracts

THE REPAIRING STANDARD. The Landlord must ensure that the accommodation meets the Repairing Standard at the start of the tenancy and at all times during the tenancy. During the tenancy this duty applies only when the Tenant informs the Landlord of work required or the Landlord becomes aware of it in some other way (inspection visit). The Repairing Standard does not cover work for which you, as the Tenant, are responsible due to your duty to use the house in a proper manner; nor does it cover the repair or maintenance of anything that you are entitled to remove from the house. If you believe that the landlord has failed to ensure that the house meets the Repairing Standard at all times during the tenancy, you have the right to apply to the Private Rented Housing Panel (PRHP). The PRHP may reject the application; consider whether the case can be resolved by us (the Tenant and Landlord) ourselves (for example, by agreeing to mediation); or refer your application to a Private Rented Housing Committee (PRHC) for consideration. The PRHC has power to require a Landlord to carry out work necessary to meet the Repairing Standard.
