Rechargeable repairs
The Council does not bear the cost of all repairs to your property.
For information email: angela.stuttard@pendle.gov.uk
Where tenant's or visitors to their property, have caused damage (eg. broken window) or been negligent (eg. locked out of property) the Council will charge for the cost of works to rectify the problem.
Tenants should be advised that a repair is rechargeable when reporting.
You will receive a letter estimating the cost of the works. An invoice will subsequently be raised for which you will be liable. It is possible to pay for recharged repairs by instalments, subject to agreement.
You might be able to claim back the cost of rechargeable repair done through your personal Contents Insurance. It is up to you to check your policy details to see if you are covered for accidental damage.
