LANDLORD OBLIGATIONS: OWNERSHIP You must confirm that the landlord s as written on the front page are the actual owner(s) of the property to be let and that permission to let the property has been obtained from each owner, if applicable. Each owner must provide photographic evidence of their name; this would ideally come in the form of a passport. In the case of joint ownership the landlord must ensure that all other joint owners are named on this terms of business and furthermore in the tenancy agreement. MORTGAGES AND LEGAL CHARGES Where a property is subject to a mortgage or other legal charges, permission from the lender is usually required to let. Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd ask that the landlord determines their own legal responsibility in this respect, and obtain the necessary consent before a tenancy commences. Furthermore, it may be the case that the mortgage company require certain clauses to be included within a tenancy agreement. Such clauses must be declared on point of instruction. SUPERIOR LANDLORD If the landlord s interest in the property is not freehold but leasehold, permission to let from the superior landlord is usually required, often by way of a licence to sub-let. Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd ask that the landlord determines their own legal responsibility in this respect, and obtain the necessary consent before a tenancy commences. In no circumstances can the landlord create a sub-tenancy for a period longer than the interest they hold in the property. Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd can offer advice in this circumstance, but would generally recommend a landlord to refer to their acting solicitor. LANDLORD MUST OBTAIN RELEVANT CONSENTS WHERE REQUIRED. POWER OF ATTORNEY Where the landlord is resident overseas it is recommended that legal power of attorney is placed with a UK based resident or professional advisor, so that instructions may be expeditiously obtained as situations arise. PROPRIETORSHIP Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd accept, in good faith, receipt of instructions and information from the rightful owner, or person having due authority, of any property, and do not accept any liability where incorrectly instructed or informed. INSURANCE The landlord must consult with their insurance company or broker to ensure that the property and all its contents are and remain adequately insured throughout the letting, and that all policies allow for the property to be let. If you would like any assistance with a quote for insurance Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd can help with this. DECOR AND CONDITION The landlord is required to ensure that the property and all contents have been cleaned and tidied and that all items are in a reasonable state of repair. The landlord bears the responsibility of ensuring that all structures comply with the relevant Building Regulations and that all services have been correctly installed and are operational, and that all equipment is safe to use. EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCES The landlord confirms and warrants that all services, equipment and appliances, particularly burglar alarms, washing machines, gas fires and electrical and central heating systems have been installed by properly qualified persons in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations and any statutory regulations and have been checked and serviced by properly by qualified service engineers, before the tenancy commences and the tenant(s) take occupation. The landlord confirms that all electrical items with a plug socket will be subject to Portable Appliance Testing (PAT). You can instruct Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd to carry this out on your behalf. PAT testing should then be carried out an annual basis. The landlord authorises Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd to carry out any visit where the safety of the tenant(s) is at risk at the landlord s expense. If as a result of the visit, works are required to make any service, equipment, installation or appliance safe to use, the landlord irrevocably authorises Allan Morris & Ashton Ltd to carry out such works at the landlord s expense. FIRE AND FURNSIHING REGULATIONS You hereby warrant to Allan Morris & Ashton Ltd that all furniture and furnishings in the property to be let and included in the letting 2

(whether originally provided or added during the tenancy) fully comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1998 as amended by the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 1989 and 1993. GAS REGULATIONS The landlord must ensure that the gas supply and all appliances and fittings provided are safe and properly serviced and comply with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. A gas safety certificate (CP12) will be required before the commencement of a new tenancy and must then be carried on an annual basis by a Gas Safe Appliance registered engineer (formerly Corgi). You must keep a record of the safety check for 2 years and issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28 days of the certificate being completed and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in. You will indemnify us should a breach of these regulations occur during the tenancy. Failure to comply can result in loss of life. Furthermore, you risk being prosecuted which could result in a maximum penalty of 5,000 for each offence. If the case is then referred to the Crown Court the maximum penalty may be an unlimited fine and the possibility of imprisonment. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND WIRING In order to comply with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 a landlord must ensure that all the electrical equipment in his property is safe. Safety includes minimising the risk of injury as well as death. The landlord must ensure there are written instructions for all electrical equipment in the property. From 1st January 2007 all new electrical appliances must carry a CE mark. A safety check of all electrical appliances within the property is recommended to be carried out by a qualified NIC electrician. INVENTORIES A detailed comprehensive inventory and schedule of condition, to include all fixtures and fittings must be supplied for all properties. Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd will happily arrange for our inventory clerk to carry out an inventory for you, the cost of which is borne by the landlord. An inventory is included in our Full Management service. In order to protect yourself and your property under the deposit laws within the Housing Act 2004 you must provide your tenants with an inventory. Please note that if you do not have an inventory you will be unable to make a successful claim from a tenants deposit. LANDLORDS RESIDENT ABROAD (NON-UK RESIDENT LANDLORDS) It is essential that the landlord has an accountant in the UK to deal with taxation matters and provides Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd with their name and address. If the landlord does not have a professional advisor to deal with taxation affairs, Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd would be pleased to recommend several. If you are a non-resident landlord when rent is paid to you we will be required to deduct basic rate tax at source from your rental income. Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd remit tax due as demanded by the Inland Revenue and as agreed with the landlord s accountant and will account for the balance of funds held. In order to prevent this tax deduction at source the landlord must apply for approval to receive rents with no tax deducted from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). If eligible the landlord and agent will be provided with an NRL (nonresident landlord) number. On receipt of this the agent is authorised to pay rent without tax deduction. ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES All rental properties in England and Wales are required to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Once a certificate is obtained it will remain valid for a period of 10 years. If a valid certificate exists when there is a change of tenant, a new certificate will not be required. Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd can arrange for an EPC to be carried out for you. CONTROL OF LEGIONELLA You must comply with the Health and Safety at Work Regulations and Management of Health and Safety Work Regulations in relation to the control of legionella bacteria in water systems. It is therefore your responsibility to assess your property and follow the practical guidance given in The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems, Approved Code of Practice and Guidance L8 (2nd Edition) in order to manage and control any risks. By signing this agreement you confirm that your property complies with these regulations or you have instructed for Allan Morris & Ashton Lettings Ltd to order a risk assessment to be completed.

The Court will make an order stating that you, the landlord, must pay the deposit back to the tenant or lodge it with the custodial scheme, which is known as the Deposit Protection Scheme.
