Maintenance nuisance request clause in lease
Does anyone have or does anyone even suggest a clause in a lease agreement that essentially states that stuff like "lights went out in closet ceiling fixture and I'm can't see and can you come fix it?" incur a $50 nuisance fee for the landlord?
Obviously if it's something wrong with the fixture itself but if it's a light bulb and you get a call at 5am wanting you to come fix it immediately, how would you handle that? As a renter common sense would dictate that ,"hey I'll change the bulb" but sometimes we are not dealing with the sharpest knife in the drawer here.
