If a service charge for maintenance is required, this should be paid monthly and Building Insurance payable annually. It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive your payment on time. Under the terms of your lease, the rent is stated as exclusive of VAT. We retain the option to charge VAT on the rent and other financial outgoings at either the commencement of the lease or at any time during your occupancy. How do I pay my rent?

If you do not contact us or fail to pay your arrears in full, we will take action in line with our arrears policy. This could result in extra costs including interest on the outstanding amount.

The tenant undertakes to ensure that the accounts for the supply to the accommodation of gas, electricity, water and telephone are entered in his name with the relevant supplier. The tenant agrees to pay promptly all sums that become due for these supplies relative to the period of the tenancy. The tenant agrees to make the necessary arrangements with the suppliers to settle all accounts for these services on termination of the tenancy. The tenant agrees not to change supplier without the prior written permission of the landlord. The landlord may keep from the deposit any sum the landlord expends or incurs in settling final accounts for the services at the end of the tenancy.

If you want to assign (transfer) your lease to someone else, or share part of your premises, please put your request in writing either by or post.

We insure all of our buildings under a block policy. The premium for this is proportionately recharged to you on an annual basis. The present sum insured for the building has been calculated to include the reinstatement of the building, loss of rent and service charge and landlord s fixtures and fittings. A copy of the insurance policy and what is covered is available from on request. The buildings insurance excludes tenants fixtures and fittings, stock and chattels, accidental damage and employers liability for staff, contents, public liability and third party liability etc. In the event of any damage, giving rise to a claim, please inform immediately, giving full written details of the incident in order that the insurers can begin to investigate the loss without delay. It s vital that the premises let to you are properly covered for certain risks. There is a 250 excess on the insurance policy that you are obliged to pay in the event of each and every claim. These are specified in the lease as being your responsibility: 1. All public liability, contents cover and plate glass cover. 2.

Deputy Fire Wardens should be trained to carry out the duties of the Fire Wardens in their absence. A list of Fire Wardens and Deputy Fire Wardens should be displayed near fire alarms and appliances. Fire alarm The fire alarm, where fitted, is usually activated by the break glass call points within the premises. An alarm will operate throughout the building. A weekly test of the fire alarm must be carried out by a Fire Warden at a set time each week. If the alarm is activated outwith this set time, the fire brigade should be called immediately. Evacuation In the event of a fire, the safety of staff and the public is paramount. Don t forget, a fire may be discovered by a member of the public as well as a member of staff. It is crucial that information is communicated quickly and accurately to designated fire wardens or their deputies.
