Flats, maisonettes, and shared area

1: We will maintain and repair the structure and insides of all the shared areas of the building that your home is in, including:

• a: doors and windows;
• b: walls, floors and ceilings;
• c: steps, lifts, passageways and other types of access.

2: You must use all shared areas in a reasonable and responsible way and not allow anything to block or cause damage to a shared area.

3: You must place all rubbish in the appropriate areas, chutes or containers provided. You must not throw any object, or allow it to be thrown, from any shared area.

4: If you have rubbish chutes, you must use them only for small amounts of rubbish. Put large items in the bins provided. You must keep to local arrangements for using rubbish chutes (which will normally mean not using them before 7 o'clock in the morning or after 11 o'clock at night).

5: You must not allow any shared area to be used in a way which causes a nuisance to, or harasses or annoys, your neighbours or their visitors.

6: You must not allow fire doors, security doors or main doors to be kept open.

7: You must not store anything in any shared area without our written permission. We will not refuse to give our permission unless we have good reason.

8: You must not interfere with any fire hoses, fire hydrants, cupboards or storage areas in shared areas.

9: You must tell us about any faults in shared areas as soon as you notice them.

Notes

a: Do not smoke in lifts or any shared areas where there are no-smoking signs.
