I have a section in my contracts just to address permits and who is responsible for them

In my area tenants are usually only responsible for electric and the owner pays W/S/T.

Thank you all for the responses!

Thank you for your time and your responses!

They can afford the monthly payments but don't have the downpayment for the house saved yet- they have a plan to do so in the next year.We offered to allow them to rent at a lesser rate for a year (to help them save for the house) and they be responsible for small repairs and at their lease renewal we touch base and see if they want to buy.
