FAQs

Common tenant questions

How quickly will my maintenance request be dealt with?

We acknowledge all requests within one working day. Routine repairs are typically completed within 5–7 working days. Urgent issues are addressed within 24–48 hours, and genuine emergencies are handled the same day. You will always receive an update on progress.

How do I pay my rent and what happens if I am late?

Rent should be paid by standing order to arrive on or before the due date in your agreement. If you anticipate a delay, please contact us as soon as possible. Late payment fees and the consequences of persistent arrears are detailed in your tenancy agreement.

Can I have guests stay at my property?

Short-term guests are generally permitted. However, any guest staying for an extended period (typically more than 14 consecutive days or 30 days in any rolling 12-month period) requires written consent from Soteria Homes. Please contact us to discuss.

Who is responsible for utility bills?

Responsibility for utilities depends on your individual tenancy agreement. In most cases tenants are responsible for gas, electricity, water and council tax unless stated otherwise in writing. Your welcome pack will confirm your specific arrangement.

What do I do if I lose my keys?

Contact us as soon as possible at +44 7000 000000 or via WhatsApp. There may be a charge for replacement keys or lock changes depending on the circumstances. Do not attempt to change the locks yourself.
