Common use of STRUCTURE & EXTERIOR Clause in Contracts

STRUCTURE & EXTERIOR. The landlord must keep the structure of the building in good repair. This includes: • drains, gutters and outside pipes; • roof; • outside walls, doors, windowsills, window catches, sash cords, and window frames; • inside walls, floors, ceilings, doors, door frames, inside stair cases and landings; • chimneys, chimney stacks, and flues; • pathways, steps or other means of access; • plaster work; • boundary walls and fences. Sometimes the landlord might be responsible, along with owners of homes nearby, to keep certain common parts of a building or walls between two properties in good repair. Examples of this might be where the property is a flat in a tenement building. In that case the common parts would usually include items such as the roof, common doors, the staircase giving access to all flats and the back court area. The landlord would need to carry out repairs to these things - but this would be shared with the owners of all of the other flats within the tenement.
