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

Written by Brittany Purcell

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.
At Georgia Legacy Management, we follow clear lease guidelines that outline who handles what. If you're unsure, check your lease or reach out to our team—we’re happy to clarify. Our responsive maintenance system and 24/7 emergency hotline ensure issues are addressed quickly and professionally, protecting both the tenant's comfort and the owner's investment.
