Repair
During the lease, the tenant is responsible for damage caused by the tenant or the tenant’s guests. For example, tenants can expect to pay for the repair if they or the guests break a lock, window, or appliance.
Owners are not required to repair a residence unless required by the lease, the law, or to cure a dangerous condition that affects the health or safety of the tenant. Local laws usually require that owners keep the leased property habitable and provide for enforcement by building inspectors. Tenants should notify the owner in writing of any needed repair that is the responsibility of the owner.
