Does my tenancy agreement affect my right to claim?
Your tenancy agreement can affect your rights and responsibilities. If you do not have exclusive use of any part of the property, you may have a licence to occupy. If you have exclusive use of part or all of the property, you are likely to have an assured or assured shorthold tenancy.
Our experienced advisers can help Clarion tenants understand their legal rights based on their individual circumstances and tenancy type.
What legal obligations does my landlord have?
Clarion are not required to improve your property, but they are legally required to carry out repairs to maintain safe living conditions.
Local councils and housing associations are usually responsible for:
-
The structure and exterior of the property
-
Water pipes and installations (including sinks, toilets, baths and drainage)

Gas pipes and electrical wiring
-
Heating systems (excluding cookers)
