And they should check all the basic necessaries in the house before giving in to the hand of the tenant. The other responsibility of the housing association is that they make the repairs every year because the house needs maintenance every year.

When the tenant notices a problem in the house, the tenant should tell to the landlord. When the landlord is aware form the problem, then it’s his responsibility to solve the problem in a reasonable time.
