This page contains helpful information for Landlords who rent out their properties and for tenants who rent a flat or house at Brockwell Gate.

If you are a Landlord, there are obligations that you must undertake to ensure that buildings insurance and other important matters continue to be complied with, particularly if you are renting out a flat. A Landlord is classed as someone who rents their property out in full (e.g. the whole flat) or in part (e.g. continues to live in the property but with a tenant). Here are a few terms and a full list can be found in the Guidebook and in your legal documents such as Transfer, Lease or Covenant.

• Updated If you are subletting (renting out) your flat either in whole or in part, clause 14.4 of your lease requires you to service notice in writing to both the Manager (Brockwell Gate Management Company Limited) and the Freeholder's agent (Estates and Management). This should occur each time a new tenancy agreement commences or is renewed. You may download a copy of the notice here. The charge for serving notice to the Manager is £20.00 (twenty pounds). The charge for serving notice to the Freeholder's agent is £75.00 (seventy five pounds). Notice and payment to both parties must occur within 21 days of the subletting. You can find contact details for the freeholder's agent, Estates and Management, here.
  
  
• Updated Please familiarise yourself with clauses in the buildings insurance policy if you are subletting your flat. You may view the buildings insurance policy here. The policy will continue to apply if:
  
  
  - the tenant is sourced via a letting agency for a mimimum period of 6 months, and
  - the tenant is in full time professional employment.
  
  
  Tenants who are students, DSS, asylum seekers, unemployed or renting directly from the landlord must be informed in writing. This can be done via the notice of subletting form available here.
  
  
• Updated Where a flat is unoccupied (for example, after one tenant moves out and the next tenant moves in), you must notify Brockwell Gate Management Company immediately as per the buildings insurance policy. Please click here to download the vacant apartment form.

• Updated Landlords must comply with Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 regarding statutory obligations to maintain gas appliances that they own. By law, all landlords are required to arrange for a Gas Safe registered engineer to check all gas appliances and flues within 12 months of being installed and then at least every twelve months. They are also required to complete any necessary maintenance and repairs of gas appliances, flues and pipework. According to the HSE, Landlords include people who have a lodger.

• Ensure that any vehicle (including motorcycles) belonging to the tenant is identified to the company. Inform tenants that there is no space on the development for the multiple parking of cars and that only one car is permitted per property where a parking space exists for your property (there are 30 flats with no parking space or vehicular access).
  
  
• Ensure that your tenants are fully aware of the covenants and associated restrictions and information about the company.
  
  
• Ensure tenants respect the rules and the lives of their neighbours regarding parking, noise, cleanliness and other restrictions.
