Rental standards for Deanside townhouses
Shared walls, small wet areas and what to check before a townhouse lease.
In short: Townhouses carry the same 15 standards, with a few items that need more attention.
Ventilation
Compact bathrooms and laundries rely on exhaust fans. Check they work and vent properly.
Mould and damp
Condensation builds up faster in smaller spaces.
Windows
Every outside window that opens must latch.
Heating
The main living area must have a fixed heater, so a portable one does not count.
