We are very conscious that when you occupy one of our properties that this is primarily your home and we will always look to respect that.  However, in order to safeguard Vectis and other residents, there are certain things which we have to stress as vital, outlined below, for your continued uninterrupted occupation of your tenancy.

Your Rights

Your rights as a tenant will be outlined in your tenancy agreement. You can also get more information about the expectations placed on your landlord by the regulating body. This can be found here.
