The Landlord will not hold the Agent liable, and will refund any losses to the Agent, for the cost of complying with any existing or future legislation affecting the letting of the Property and the cost of repairing and removing and replacing any dangerous and/or defective equipment and/or furnishings with safe and compliant equipment and/or furnishings

The Landlord agrees that agreed costs of repairs will be deducted from due rent with any balance owed above the rent to be paid as an ad-hoc sum.

The Agent will use its best endeavours to notify the Landlord whether or not the Property requires a licence under an existing or new licensing scheme under the Housing Act 2004. Where a licence is required, and a licence has not already been issued, the Landlord will apply for the licence and pay the applicable fee. The Landlord will apply for a renewal of the licence in good time, when this is needed. The Landlord will provide the Agent with a copy of the licence or confirmation from the local authority that a licence application has been received, before the new scheme is in force, before the Property is first let or before the licence is due for renewal, as appropriate. The Landlord will not hold the Agent liable, and will refund any losses to the Agent, for any fines or other penalties as a result of the Landlord’s failure to make an application for, or renew, a licence and pay the fee.

That the Landlord will compensate and reimburse the Agent for all costs and expenses, penalties, claims or liabilities incurred or imposed upon the Agent including anything awarded by a court in connection with the management of the Property under this agreement, unless the loss or liability arises through negligence or breach of contract.

The Agent will pay for repairs out of rent money held and where the monies held are insufficient to cover the cost of a repair the Landlord will pay the Agent any shortfall upon demand.

If the Agent has committed expenditure or undertaken work, the Landlord agrees to reimburse the Agent with those costs and expenses.
