Repairing and maintaining your home

Are there any guides to carrying out simple tasks that are my responsibility?

Our How-To Guides provide practical advice and step-by-step information to help tenants look after their homes, prevent common repair issues, and understand what to do when problems arise. They offer simple, useful guidance on a range of topics, helping tenants maintain their homes safely and get the support they need when required.

These guides are designed to help you carry out simple tasks that are normally the tenant's responsibility.

Only attempt tasks you feel confident carrying out safely.

Stop immediately if you are unsure.

Report the issue if the problem continues.

Never attempt repairs involving:

• Gas appliances

• Electrical wiring

• Roofs

• Structural elements

• Asbestos-containing materials

• Major plumbing works
