These should include a walk-through of the property and confirmation and execution (in duplicate) of the Inventory of Contents and Condition Statement. The relevant utility Meter readings should be agreed and recorded and accounts transferred into the new occupant’s name(s).
Furthermore, the tenant should be shown how the services in the property work, such as the heating system, security system (if any) and the location of key Electrical, Mechanical and Structural (water mains) and Fire safety features and installations in the event of an emergency or maintenance issue arising during their tenancy.
The Housing Standards (For Rented Houses) Regulations 2019 place statutory obligations on landlords and a duty of care towards their tenants and it is imperative for landlords to ensure they are compliant in this regard and their tenants are suitably informed in accordance with their statutory rights.
