Question Title: Controlled tenancy & repairs

Question:
57
My landlord has an old controlled tenancy under the Rent Acts, receiving a so-called "fair" rent. Is my landlord under any obligation to carry out repairs as with a modern AST ?
Answer:
Yes, the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 applies to all residential tenancies entered into after 24 October 1961. Therefore your landlord needs to go back to the lease and check the start dates to check his repairing obligations.
