Tenant Repair Form
I've had a search on the site and internet and haven't identified a suitable template to facilitate tenants reporting repairs to the landlord.
This is to prevent the cycle of one line emails saying 'x doesn't work' and subsequent visits which then identify that the tenant has taken no proper steps to investigate it and there is no actual fault, apart from their ignorance in how to operate an appliance or change a timer or fuse.
Any advice on content or links to templates would be appreciated.Tags: None

by HooperNot sure anyone can provide much more feedback until you gets answers from the landlord.
With the pipe tight in against a stud they may have needed to open up further to find the fixings that allow them to loosen the pipe sufficiently to get a repair joint on. Looks like an awkward plasterboard...-

by fpyardsI moved out of a flat a few days ago. While I was in the flat there was a leak due to a punctured pipe in a wall cavity that the landlord is claiming a deduction from our deposit for repairing.
The total cost being claimed is £492.50 for the plumber's work and £180 to repair the wall....-

Reply to Electric inspection issueby jpkeatesThat sounds more random than inefficient.
I'd ask them why they think they need it.-

by PlumbobWe have literally just relet our bungalow. The agent who handled the new let and the previous one, which only lasted a year due to the tenant having to go to a care home, asked for the initial inspection report from 10 years ago to apparently check against the new one done in May 21 . The whole place...

by jpkeatesWhat is being described is not a contractual periodic tenancy, because in a contractual periodic tenancy the terms relating to ending the tenancy remain in force.
You are falling victim to the same English/legal terminology issue, where "tenancy" has two slightly different meanings,...-

by junglerowerHi, I have exchanged contracts on a house which I will buy with a buy-to-let mortgage.
The current owner has bought a new house of David Wilson's homes and they have taken his old house in exchange, which I now bought via them.
His new house is not yet finished, so he has to move somewhere...-
