How your landlord should deal with repairs 

Your landlord or letting agent is responsible for most of the repairs in your home. Your landlord should not enter your home without your agreement. 

If they need to access your home, they should:

  • give you at least 24 hours notice in writing
  • arrange a suitable time to visit with you
