Payments in Default -Permitted payments that are charged to you if you default on a clause in your tenancy and are as follows:
Missed appointments – If a landlord has arranged for a contractor to visit the property to carry out remedial work and the tenant refuses entry or is not there to grant access then any charges levelled at the landlord from the contractor will be passed to the tenant/s and charged at £60 including VAT
Avoidable or purposeful damage – Damage to the property caused by neglect, careless or wilful behaviour will be a breach of tenancy and will be charged to the tenant at cost of damaged caused.
Replacement keys – The cost of cutting new keys will be charged to the tenant(s) if you are at fault and have lost them or if a locksmith must be called charged at £2.50 per key if a standard key or up to £35 for a specialist key i.e. a master key plus any callout charges incurred for a locksmith to attend if required.
Emergency/out of hours call-out fees – Chargeable for any out of hours service needed as a result of tenant actions i.e emergency glazer, plumber or locksmith if the tenant caused the property issue/repair in the first place. These charges are dependent on the severity of the damages and can vary from contractor to contractor. You will be notified of any charges incurred to you as a result of damages before a contractor is booked so you can review the cost and decide if the repair can wait for a contractor to attend in hours.
