[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your contract states that tenants are responsible for minor repair and maintenance what does this mean to you?  Assuming the issues were not present at time of rental but developed over the course of the contract?  For example showerhead replacement, HVAC filters, toilet paper holders falling out of wall, kitchen cabinet doors coming loose, slow flowing faucets?  As a renter I'm not sure what I should report to landlord and what I should take care of myself.  I have a good relationship with landlord and he is pretty good at getting things fixed.[/quote]

Btw this is not Europe. Landlords in the United States typically do repairs and maintenance and you should not sign a lease that states otherwise. The clause is probably not enforceable, and it certainly is not enforceable in DC.[/quote]

I didn't know this.  I like my landlord so and he hasn't upped rent in over two years so I just wanted to be sure.  I asked posed the question to landlords because I wanted to get an idea of what they would think if I sent an update.  [/quote]
