One of the biggest perks of being a renter
is that, for the most part, tedious maintenance work and
expensive home repairs aren't your problem. That's your
landlord's job, right? Right?
Well, not necessarily. In some cases, tenants are in charge of
handling routine maintenance—and even some repairs—in their
rental units.
Landlords and property managers are responsible for
maintaining any appliances and electrical systems, landlords
are also generally responsible for ensuring the overall safety
of the rental property, including making sure your locks work,
your alarm systems (if any) are operational, and your unit
receives running water and heat.
