Vale of Aylesbury Housing Trust

We expect that normal wear and tear will occur to your home as time passes.

However, should your home need a repair because of either neglect or damage either by you or your friends and family, we will expect you to carry out any necessary repairs.

If a repair is needed because of your neglect or damage, we may give you notice to make good, and in some cases we may carry out the repair on your behalf and then charge you for the cost.

Examples of rechargeable repairs are:
• Broken appointments
• Gaining access due to lost or forgotten keys
• Repairs required as a result of damage from yourself, household members or visitors
• Damage caused by leaks from washing machines or your own appliances or fittings
• Blocked drains, toilets, sinks, baths, basins where blockages are caused by misuse
• Reinstatement of alterations on termination of tenancy
• Broken glazing (without a crime reference number)

For more information on whether a repair is your responsibility, you can download our handy guide here, or alternatively contact the Trust.
