And they keep 20% tax as I'm non resident so that's very helpful as I don't have to face a big bill from revenue.
Then inspex.ie said they need to see a gas service certificate....I normally get this done every other year as recommended by my Gas man....
And of course some of my tenants took out the batteries in the alarms. I've it in mind to switch to the new types, off the mains as that seems to be a better job and I've done this in one property last year as I had an electrician in to fix some things.
Yes. The battery is a secondary power in case the electrics blow because of fire. I wouldn't bother getting mains done for this reason.Just wondering Bronte about those alarms direct from the mains as I've them fitted in properties and lo and behold they have needed batteries fitted when going off after about 18 months. Couldn't believe it, so when I saw your piece about fitting them I thought i'd put this here. Got the work done by an electrician I use a lot, genuine pro and haven't had a chat with him yet. Is this the usual thing?
So if a tenant requested HAP, I'd be inclined to ask HAP to inspect the property first, give me a list of issues, and only then would I decide whether to accept or not.
I'm presuming that you can do this as a landlord?
I thought I could do this. However it seems that the council can come and inspect at anytime after the lease starts and produce a new list.
I had an inspection in January, a council employee not a third party. He mentioned some very minor details in conversation at the time, vinyl on kitchen was one. However its now July and no sign of a report. I will worry about it when it comes.
I don't even know who lives in the house, my tenant is the council, not the Hap scheme but rental standards are the same I'm told.
