Are leaking/dripping faucets landlords responsibility to pay for?

[Frankie Parker]

Are all leaking or dripping faucets that I discover in my move-out inspections for my tenants my responsibility to pay for to fix? My faucets are pretty old so I am assuming this should be normal wear and tear but I am wondering if it is the landlord's responsibility to pay for leaking or dripping faucets for new/newer faucets as well. We would not charge the tenant for leaking or dripping faucets that we find after they move out, correct?

Basically, one of the sides of the faucet of one of my tenants who has moved out keeps running (not just dripping, but actually running) when in the completely turned off position. My other tenant has a leaking kitchen faucet that leaks from the knob/cartridge and faucet base when turned on but is able to be completely turned off.

Thank you!

@Frankie Parker in addition to above: your attitude towards the property will be reflected by your tenants! If you take good care of it odds are better they will too. Get things done proactivley instead of when it absolutley has to be done. It's more cost effective this way - for example do one plumbing upgrade instead of 10 small fixes over 2 years.

It's your asset, treat it this way!
