JOB SHEET repairs and maintenance *
It is important, should you be brought to task, that you could demonstrate you are taking your repair obligations seriously. Diarise maintenance this job sheet may assist in the planning and scheduling of repairs
2. LEGAL COMPLIANCE CHECK
Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
? Strong compliance
• shows landlord aware
• shows action taken
• shows timing
________________________________________
Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Conditions Claims
? Excellent alignment
• records:
o report
o response
o inspection
o contractor action
________________________________________
Disrepair Risk Protection
? Significantly improved
This document now proves:
• landlord responded
• acted within reasonable time
• attempted access
• completed works
________________________________________
3. PIMS PRACTICAL INSIGHT
This is gold for defence.
In real disrepair claims, tenants argue:
• “I reported it months ago”
• “nothing was done”
• “landlord ignored me”
________________________________________
This job sheet now proves:
? when reported
? what was reported
? what you did
? when you did it
? whether tenant cooperated
________________________________________
Most powerful sections:
?? “Date Issue Reported”
?? “Date Actioned”
?? “Access Record”
?? “Tenant Confirmation”
________________________________________
4. STRATEGIC NOTE (VERY IMPORTANT)
The biggest legal trigger is:
?? when the landlord became aware
From that moment:
• duty to act begins
This job sheet locks that down.
________________________________________
5. NEXT LEVEL (OPTIONAL BUT VERY POWERFUL)
You can add:
?? photo upload reference
?? email log reference
?? contractor invoice link
Even without tech, just noting:
“Photos taken on [date]”
is very strong.
