Liability for Housing Society Penalties: Tenant or Landlord?

When a tenant breaks the rules of a housing society, like parking wrong or making too much noise, the society usually fines the flat owner because they are the legal owner.

But if the rental agreement says the tenant is responsible, the landlord can ask the tenant to pay the fine.

It's important for both the landlord and tenant to talk about these rules before moving in and write down who will pay for any fines.

This helps avoid arguments later.
