Your responsibilities

• This must be the main place you use as a home.  If for any reason your home is going to be empty for more than six weeks, you must let Lewisham Homes know
• You must treat other people as you want them to treat you
• It is up to you to ensure that any visitors to the property do not  break any part of the tenancy agreement
• You must keep the inside and outside of your home and any gardens or paved areas you use, clean and tidy
• You should also prevent your home from getting damp inside

It is up to you to decorate the inside parts of your home and to repair or replay any items you have fitted to the property.  

If any part of the home is damaged by you, someone living with you, a visitor or someone you have employed, you must pay for and organise the repairs need.  This includes damage caused by the poice if they have to force their way into your home.

Before you try and do change anything in your home, stop first to check that you are allowed to do so.  If you go ahead without getting approval in writing from the council, you may end up having to pay for the work to be undone.

As a tenant you have a responsibility to pay your rent on time. Making regular rent payments is extremely important. We can only improve our services to you if we have the money to pay for them. If you are unable to make a rent payment please contact us. We are able to assist you with benefit applications and provide financial advice.
