Who is responsible for what?

[Al Mac]

Hi All,

I have the following questions for the investors experienced in single family rentals.

Who is typically responsible for fixing the following items? the tenant or the landlord?

1) exhaust fans that stop working because of corrosion due to tenant showering with very hot water and filling the bathroom with steam all the time?

2) Smoke detectors that stop working and the inside of them show lots of dust, cockroach drops and other nasty stuff?

3) mirrors with edges blackened due to excess steam in the bathroom?

Any info will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Alfredo.

1. landlord, unless it's obvious gross misconduct on the tenant behalf. still, these are cheap

2. landlord

3. .......hard to say, probably landlord.

luckily all small issues. is there is a problem dealing with the tenant?

poor relationships make all sorts of minor stuff become big problems.
