Hi BPF

very new here, and as you can tell by my post I'm very new to real estate in general.

I'm curious as to what the landlord is responsible for and what the tenants are responsible for when it comes to repairs. 

Would it behoove someone to charge repair fees? I heard on one of the podcasts that someone was charging the tenant the first 100 dollars in repairs to discourage calls for squeaky doorknobs etc.

If putting this into a lease, does it scare away possible tenants? Not always bad, I suppose, during the vetting process, but I also dont want to turn everyone away. 

it should be noted the property in question is in California, working class, one of the best rated school districts.

I'd love to hear what everyone else has done with their properties?

Thanks!
