Dean Evans News Centre Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:29:08 +0000 Dear Trisha, most landlords pay the maintenance charges. However, you are entitled to include this is the rent and when letting the property you inform the tenant what the rent includes. There is no right or wrong in this situation. If a tenant accepts your rental amount uncluding the maintenance then great. If you let the property to a tenant who is aware of the charges to cover maintenance on top then that's also good. I hope this helps, Regards - The Landlord Association Landlord Expert - Free landlord Information, Advice and Support
