    recently, there were some disputes between my friend (tenant) and owner regarding who should pay what household charges.

    Can anyone advise if there are any fixed rules on who should pay tge following:

    1. town council
    2. house / fire insurance
    3. TV licence
    4. SCV charges

    typically

    Town council charges by landlord
    house fire insurance by landlord , however tenant may like to take up insurance for their own belongings.
    TV license by tenant
    SCV charges by tenant

    unless been agree between the parties involve what the rental includes from the begining.

    Hi, Evel


    Just looking at the question you post to Babyrie,

    Kaypohing here

    I bought a home insurance policy myself which covers the followings;

    Renovation, fixtures and fittings
    alternative accommodation
    household contents
    breakage of fixed glass
    replacement ot locks and keys
    loss of Pedigree pets
    third party personal liability
    personal accident for insured
    personal accident for spouse
    personal accident for child

    I being the kiasu type, wanted everything covered

    The cost of the insurance is about $240 per year

    hi happylalapo,

    thanks for your kapoying but it has really give me a good insight. i did not know that home insurance covers things like pets belongings but just wondering how to determine the value like household contents etc.

    $240 annually is really affordable. which agency did you use? can i buy on behalf of the owner (i'm refering to my dad).

    My insurance from AIG

    You can buy on behalf - not an issue here , why not speak with your agent.

    If you do not have one I can PM you my agent, I think she is pretty good.
