Adding Lease clause about small repairs

[Angela Kriv]

Hello! I have a tenant from hell moved out. Fixing place now and preparing to rent it out again. He was my first tenant and I learned a lot in two years of our relationship :) I had quite standard lease with him. I would like to add a clause to my next lease where I clearly outline who is responsible for what.

For example, broken toilet seat - tenant, broken door knob - tenant, replace electric bulb - tenant, dirty or broken window blinds - tenant. These are all that came up during his tenancy. I am looking for a comprehensive list of items to include, or maybe some broad description? I understand that plumbing, electric, appliances are my responsibility, but broken toilet seat has to be tenants responsibility, unfortunately some tenant do not understand this.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you,

Angela.
