Most tenancy agreements will have a bit about ensuring that the tenant will take reasonable precautions to prevent damage by frost and frozen pipes. But otherwise it's the landlords issue to sort and pay for, and sort ASAP. Title: Re: burst pipe! Post by: paulhouk03 on December 09, 2010, 10:05:51 PM Would this apply to a business also?

Sigh Highly unlikely. You are likely to have either a full repairing lease or an internal repairing lease, either way would fall to you. |
