Maintenance FAQ: What’s Tenant vs. Landlord Responsibility?

Understanding maintenance responsibilities helps avoid confusion and keeps your rental running smoothly.

As a tenant, you're typically responsible for day-to-day upkeep such as changing air filters, replacing light bulbs, and keeping the home clean. Landlords are responsible for structural maintenance, major appliances, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems.
