While as a tenant you have rights you also have legal obligations as a tenant. These include:

• To pay the rent on time and in full
• To provide the landlord with the information required to register the tenancy with the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB)
• To maintain the property in good order and to inform the landlord when repairs are needed and to allow him or his agents access for the purpose of carrying out repairs
• Not to engage in activities that may harm the property e.g. drying clothes inside the property without proper ventilation, as this may cause damp to develop.
• Allow the landlord to do routine inspections of the property
• Inform the landlord of who is living in the property
• To avoid causing damage, nuisance or breaking the law
• To comply with the terms of the lease agreement
• Not to do anything that could adversely affect the landlords insurance premium
• To give proper notice when terminating the tenancy.
