Your tenancy agreement - using the property
housing@knh.org.uk
- You must use the property as your only or principal (main) home and use it in a
responsible way. If you want someone to stay who was not part of your household when you first moved in
(temporarily or permanantly) you must get our written permission first. This includes children, relatives,
friends and guests. We will not refuse permission unless there is good reason (such as this person having
caused anti-social behaviour).
- You must only use the property to live in and not for any business or other purpose,
unless we have given you permission, in writing.
- You must not keep any moped, motorbike or similar vehicle, or any other machine
driven by an internal combustion engine, inside your home.
- You must keep your home clean and tidy and make sure the decoration inside your home
is in a good condition.
- You must make sure that you keep any outbuilding, yard or garden clean and free from
rubbish. You must cultivate and look after the garden and keep any trees, bushes, hedges or grass at a
reasonable size or height.
- You must make sure that you keep your home and outbuildings secure from intruders.
- You have a right to take in lodgers. You also have a right to sublet part of your
home, but you must get our permission, in writing, first. You must not sublet all of your home. Introductory
tenants do not have this right. You get this right if you become a secure tenant.
- You must not sign over your tenancy without our permission, in writing.
- You must not allow any of the boundaries of the property, or any land that is let
with it, to be changed.
- You must not put any structure (shed, garage, greenhouse or something similar) on
any land that is let with your home without our permission, in writing. You must remove any structure at the
end of the tenancy, unless we agree, in writing, that it can stay.
- You must not store bottled gas, petrol, paraffin or other flammable or explosive
substances in your home or on any land nearby. You must not let waste or other materials build up which may
cause a fire or attract vermin.
- You must not use any bottled gas or paraffin heaters if you live in a block of flats,
bed-sits or maisonettes with three or more storeys.
- If any part of your home is above the ground floor, you must make sure that nothing
is thrown, dropped or allowed to fall from any window or balcony or any part of the outside of the building.
- After 10pm and up to 7am the following morning, you must make sure that no-one
entering or leaving your home makes a noise which might disturb the neighbours.
- Also, after 10pm and up to 7am the following morning, you must make sure that you do
not use any musical or audio equipment, TV, washing machine, power tool or other domestic appliance in a way
that might disturb the neighbours.
- You must not apply any material to any surface, wall or ceiling in your home which
is difficult to remove (for example, a textured wall finish) or highly flammable (for example, polystyrene
tiles), unless you get our permission, in writing.
- You must not allow any fire-fighting equipment, fire alarm, smoke detector, security system or similar
safety or security device we have put in to be interfered with or removed at any time. You must not allow any
fire door or security door to be propped open.
