Tenants repair responsibilities – rechargeable works

As set out in your tenancy agreement you have a duty to take reasonable care of your home.

If you, a member of your household, or your visitors, cause damage to the property, which is then repaired by Hounslow Council, you may be liable to pay the costs of these works, plus an administration fee and VAT.

Where possible we will tell you if the repair is ‘rechargeable’ when you first report it to us and give an estimated cost, which you will have to pay.

If the repair is required due to action by you, a member of your household or your visitors, and you do not tell us, but we find this out when the workman attends, you will still be charged for these works.
