Repairs In the event of any repairs being necessary during our normal (Full Managed Property) office opening hours, Lanes Rentals MUST be informed immediately. Please contact the branch. Unauthorised repairs, i.e. not approved by Lanes Rentals will be investigated and may be referred to the tenant for payment. Non Managed Lettings Where Lanes Rentals are not responsible for management of a property, all deposit monies will normally be forwarded to the landlord, who will be responsible thereafter for the monies. Lanes Rentals responsibility for the let is terminated at the commencement of the agreement.
