Dear Real Estate Profesionals, A landlord is required to provide reasonable upkeep, provided the tenant does not do anything unreasonable to damage the property. This reasonable upkeep includes: 1. Keep in reasonable state of repair portions of the premises over which the landlord maintains control; 2. Keep in a reasonable state of repair all equipment under the landlord's control necessary to supply services which the landlord has expressly or impliedly agreed to furnish to the tenant, such as heat, water, elevator or air conditioning; 3. Make all necessary structural repairs; 4. Except for residential premises subject to a local housing code, repair or replace any plumbing, electrical wiring, machinery or equipment furnished with the premises and no longer in reasonable working condition; 5. For a residential tenancy, comply with a local housing code applicable to the premises. If there is damage to one tenants premises which is caused by other tenants in the same unit, the landlord still must make the necessary repairs. Next month: Improper Use Realty Yours, Raimondo
