Letting your Property - Rules and Regulations

The signing of the Letting Agreement with Toad Hall Cottages commits you as owners to ensure that you and your property comply with all Health and Safety regulations which relate to the letting of self catering properties and that you also abide by the Occupier's Liability Acts 1957 and 1984.

This Act makes it more important than ever that the proprietors of accommodation businesses recognise the importance of accessibility. It is unlawful to discriminate against disabled persons and you may not refuse to serve or accommodate him/her, offer less favourable terms, or offer a lower standard than would normally apply. Some properties, which are suitable or equipped for disabled persons, can apply for an accessibility rating from the Tourist Board.
