When landlords or their agents /acquaintances undertake repair or maintainance work in their properties let to tenants, they should ensure that their workmen leave the tenancies nice and clean and also make sure that any fixtures and fittings are refixed.
If the fitters don’t do so then the landlords should take reasonable care to refix them without causing undue anguish to disabled, vulnerable or elderly tenants who live on their own. Many time some landlords make excuses or use delaying tactics which results in tenants being left vulnerable to burglars etc.
In such instancies the authorities should compel the landlard to do the needful at the earliest convience rather than expect the tenants family members or carers to do the necessary work.
