You must not use adhesives to stick anything to the walls (this includes Blue-Tack, White-Tack, Sellotape, pins, nails, hooks etc.). If you wish to hang anything on the walls, please contact us and we will advise you on how to proceed.
Blue-Tack and White-Tack leave greasy marks on the walls that are difficult to remove and tend to seep through even after repainting. This means each spot of tack needs to be specially treated before the whole wall is repainted. This results in a large cost to the Landlord that is usually passed back to the Tenants and deducted from the Deposit.
Should there be any holes in the walls or damage to paintwork at the end of your tenancy, there will be a standard charge of £100 per affected room. We would prefer not to have to charge you, so please keep this in mind.
Please also ensure that you keep fire-exits and communal corridors clear of obstuctions. Your flat should also be kept clean and tidy to avoid fire hazards (eg. electrical cables that you may trip on in an emergency, clothes on electric heaters, etc.) and unecessary damage to furniture and fittings.
If the property is not kept clean and tidy, it is possible that it will attract pests such as mice. Uncovered food and food waste will attract pests and if the property is messy, it will provide a perfect environment for them to nest and move about the place as they do not like open clear spaces. Please contact us immediately if you notice signs of pest infestation as the quicker we are informed, the easier and quicker it is for us to eradicate the problem.
Please contact Manchester City Council for details of regular refuse collections at your property.
