What a landlord must fix, and what a tenant hands back

• The landlord must carry out the repairs and maintenance that keep the home fit for its purpose.
• If a home is handed over unfit, the tenant can ask the disputes committee to cancel the lease and return the rent paid.
• Utility accounts move to the tenant's name once the registered lease is shown.
• At the end, the tenant returns the home as received, except normal wear, and repairs damage from misuse.
