Legal obligations in Richmond upon Thames
Landlord repairing covenant
Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 requires landlords to keep the structure and exterior of a rental property in repair, maintain heating and hot water systems in working order, and keep sanitation installations — drains, basins, baths, toilets — in proper repair. Failure to comply exposes landlords to disrepair claims, rent repayment orders, and civil penalties.
Structure and exterior
Roof, walls, windows, doors, gutters and downpipes must be kept in repair. In London period properties — Victorian terraces, Edwardian conversions, Mansion blocks — weathering and damp ingress are common failure points.
Heating and hot water
The boiler, pipework, radiators and hot water cylinder must be maintained. An annual boiler service and CP12 gas safety certificate demonstrate compliance and extend appliance life.
Sanitation installations
Drains, toilets, basins and baths must be kept in repair. Blocked drains and leaking waste pipes are among the most common disrepair complaints in London rental properties.
