Making a difference by providing quality homes for people in housing need
We aim to properly maintain our properties for current and future use. Circle VHA is responsible for the structural repairs to our rented properties. This includes repair to the following:
Circle VHA will undertake all of these repairs – provided they have become defective due to fair wear and tear and not as a result of malicious damage. Circle VHA owns and manages units in apartment blocks, and in such developments the management company has responsibility for the maintenance of the external structures, such as foundations, walls, roof, common areas within the apartment blocks, external common door, lifts etc.
If there is a problem in the common area, such as no lights or the common door not closing, the tenant should contact the managing agent to make the repair. The managing agent’s name and contact details can be found in the ground floor area of the apartment block in which you reside.
Tenants are responsible for the regular care, repair and internal decoration of their homes. Examples of repairs and maintenance both inside and outside homes that tenants are responsible for include:
Tenants are responsible for the regular care, repair and internal decoration of their homes. The tenant will be liable for any costs incurred by Circle VHA due to repairs carried out that are normally considered to be the responsibility of the tenant. These are called re-chargeable repairs. Where a tenant is unable to carry out such repairs due to disability or old age, for example, Circle VHA may carry out these repairs on the tenant’s behalf and charge the tenant for this work.
Any structural repair or maintenance issues should be reported directly to the Housing Officers on site or to the central Circle VHA office. All reports of repairs are logged and are categorised as follows:
