Duty of Care | SolvGroup

Responsible landlords across Northern Ireland want to make sure their tenants are taken care of. But it can be complicated.

So, we provide a comprehensive service to help landlords and property management companies take the reasonable steps to ensure tenants are safe and their health is protected.

Whether you’re a first time or a seasoned landlord, you should be familiar with the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Order (Northern Ireland) 2006, and the duty of care they outline. Landlords must:

Provide adequate heating, lighting, ventilation and sanitation
Maintain the property in good repair
Fix issues with Heating, plumbing and electrical systems
Install appropriate safety measures such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
