What to know
- Report leaks, electrical faults and safety issues promptly.
- The lease should separate routine tenant obligations from structural or owner maintenance.
- Use the incoming inspection as the baseline for any claim.
- Do not charge a tenant for upgrading an old item simply because it needs replacement at the end of the lease.
