Renters Maintenance Means Not Intentionally Littering

By Abel Satiku


You've rented you vacation rental house and are beginning to see some draw backs. First of all, you have had to compete the agreement directly with the owner of the property. Often the renters agreement is completed before you get to see the property. You may encounter a lack of on-site staff, concierge service, 24-hour maintenance, and regular housekeeping, and a telephone.

You may have mistakenly assumed that the agency and staff of your rental unit are totally responsible for all rental property maintenance. Maintenance on a leasing property can be confusing. In most cases, the rental agent will do their level best to have someone look after the problem for you. Nonetheless, the agent and staff are responsible for all common areas. Including manicuring grassy areas. In general, repairs for apartments are the responsibility of the renter.

Have a close look at your leasing agreement. Vacation rental houses do have benefits that outweigh the negatives. For example, hotels can't possibly offer you the living space. These houses offer multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, separate family or living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and some offer fireplaces. You'll discover these vacation houses conveniently located along the beachfront, or ski country with a ski-in/ski-out style and countless located in city centers. About 2006 vacation rental management had grown to a $10 billion industry.

Renters responsibility may involve the interior of the leasing unit as well as any deck or patio. You'll also find that preservation of these areas involve cleanliness and appearance. The renter isn't responsible for painting or major repairs in the rental unit though. Just as you might do in your own home, you will be responsible for small repairs while you live there. These items could include plunging or replacing a light bulb.

Renters maintenance means not intentionally littering, engaging in vandalism and failure to pick up after dogs in common areas. Leasing property staff affects repairs to the exterior of the building, and repairing appliances including plumbing and that includes hot water and heat problems, and intervening if the renter is having difficulty with the local utilities company. If the leasing agency isn't fulfilling their responsibility for the upkeep of common areas and those items under their care and maintenance in your rental unit, communicate your concerns and complaints to the Department of Housing.

This should get action. If for example hot water isn't available for clean dishes, alert the Department of Housing because that could create a dangerous living condition for renters responsibility. The renter's responsibility for causing damage may see an extra fee charged by the leasing agent. In the situation where there is a dispute about who committed damage, or vandalism the leasing agent may charge the group. In either case, the agency provides information on how to proceed.
