Shettleston Housing Association aims to provide excellent and customer-focussed repairs and maintenance services to our tenants. Our tenancy agreement details the range of repairs the Association is responsible for, which are funded through rental income. The tenancy
agreement also sets out tenants’ responsibilities to look after the home and to pay for items that are the result of their damage or misuse, beyond “fair wear and tear”.
Tenant-related repair work has become an increasingly large element of our maintenance expenditure in recent years, putting pressure on the overall budget and potentially delaying the carrying out of works to other tenant’s homes.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure only appropriate repair and maintenance costs are being met by the Association and to minimise the impact on the Association’s rental income from the cost of repairs and maintenance works that are the responsibility of tenants or former tenants.
