What does it mean?
As a tenant, you're responsible for basic care of the apartment. This can include changing washers in faucets, maintaining self-installed appliances, and keeping the apartment clean and in good condition.
Exactly what you're responsible for depends on your lease — some contracts have extended maintenance responsibilities where the tenant handles more, like painting and wallpapering.
Key Points
- Basic care and cleanliness
- Replace washers and maintain own installations
- Avoid damage through negligence
- Extended responsibility can be agreed in contract
- Report defects you can't fix yourself to landlord
Practical Tip
Read your lease carefully — check what's included in your maintenance responsibilities. Always report problems you can't solve via a fault report. Document what you do to maintain the apartment.
