MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY

Under landlord-tenant law, maintenance responsibilities are typically divided between the landlord and the tenant.

The Landlord, With Very Few Exceptions, Is Legally Responsible to Provide Property Maintenance Such as Snow Shoveling, Lawn Raking, Eavestrough Cleaning, Among Other Things. The Law Disallows a Landlord From Using a Lease to Shift the Responsibility to a Tenant. Landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the property, ensuring that essential systems (such as plumbing and heating) are in working order, and addressing safety hazards. Tenants, on the other hand, are typically responsible for keeping the rental unit clean and sanitary, promptly reporting any maintenance issues to the landlord, and conducting minor routine maintenance tasks as outlined in the lease agreement. These responsibilities are subject to specific legal requirements and may vary by jurisdiction, so it’s essential for both landlords and tenants to understand their obligations as outlined in their lease agreement and applicable local laws to ensure a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship.

My husband and I hired George Brown for a landlord and tenant dispute. Since the moment we hired him, he immediately lifted a huge weight off of our shoulders. George made us feel confident in the process and he was reassuring every step of the way! We had to do very little in regards to the process as George handled everything in a timely manner. The best news..we won our case! Would definitley hire him again in the future, if required.
