This is How Property Management Companies Help Landlords

Legally, it is the responsibility of the landlord to offer a well maintained housing satisfying all requirements of the tenant including water, electricity, heat, and weatherproofing, sanitary, clean and safe premises. In different states, there are different tenant needs landlords have to satisfy. In some states, landlords have to provide proper ventilation, smoke detectors, and also, ensure safety and security of the residential building.

Tenants have the responsibility of keeping the property clean and maintained. If they don’t, they cannot request the landlord for repair. If the landlord is not repairing something damaged due to his own negligence then the tenant has following options: 


•        The tenant can make repairs on his own and deduce the cost from the rent of next month.
•        Withhold the rent until it is repaired.
•        Call a local building inspector.
•        Leave in the middle of the lease.
