This is the original version (as it was originally made).
11.—(1) The contract-holder must notify the landlord as soon as reasonably practicable of any fault, defect, damage or disrepair which the contract-holder reasonably believes is the landlord’s responsibility.
(2) Where the contract-holder reasonably believes that any fault, defect, damage or disrepair to the fixtures and fittings or items listed in the inventory is not the landlord’s responsibility, the contract-holder must, within a reasonable period of time, carry out repairs to such fixtures and fittings or other items listed in the inventory, or replace them.
(3) The circumstances in which paragraph (2) applies include where the fault, defect, damage or disrepair has occurred wholly or mainly because of an act or omission amounting to a lack of care(1) by the contract-holder, any permitted occupier or any person visiting the dwelling.
Section 96(3) of the Act defines “lack of care”.
