you are caught smoking in prohibited areas then the landlord reserves the right to terminate you
accommodation agreement and give you two weeks’ notice.

 No pets are allowed in the property whether to be kept or as visitors. The landlord reserves the right
to serve notice to any occupier who does not adhere to this rule.

 Drunkenness or drug taking (excepting prescribed drugs) is prohibited within the property. Any
alcohol misuse and drug abuse may lead to the termination of this agreement without notice.

 Please respect your fellow housemates and occupiers, as well as their guests. Please maintain
good standards of cleanliness at all times within the property and do not cause unnecessary
disturbances, or loud noises, at all times but especially after 9pm and before 8am.

 Please be considerate at all times to other people living in the building and other households of the

 Ensure you tidy and clean all communal areas after you have used them, which include kitchen
surfaces and equipment after cooking and eating, and the toilet and toilet bowl after using the
