What if the rent book and statement of tenancy terms do not comply with the regulations?
A – It is an offence to only partially fulfil all requirements but a district council will normally not consider prosecution if the landlord provides the information promptly once any omissions have been pointed out to him. However, if the required information on repairing obligations is omitted or unclear, the default terms will apply and the landlord cannot subsequently override these.
