About this document
This is a set of terms and conditions - a non-negotiable contract - for a landlord to put to any type of tradesman for any reasonably uncomplicated work, such as redecorating at the end of a tenancy or unblocking a drain.
It can be reused and reduced easily as necessary depending on the cost of the work being done and the risk to the property.
It provides a record in writing of what work the contractor was asked to carry out, and terms such as price so that the landlord can claim if the work was not done to specification.
If the job is more extensive, we suggest you use an agreement more suited to building work rather than maintenance.
