[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t a lot of this depend on the state/county? I don’t rent in Va, I’m in Montgomery County in MD, but there is standard lease here that landlords must use. [/quote]
There are certain requirements that must be met but of course you are not required to use a particular lease.[/quote]

But often trying to put maintenance obligations on a tenant is illegal.

Something is screwed up if you need to clean out a drain every day in the fall and I doubt any tenant is going to do that. [/quote]
I’m a lawyer who works in housing and I’ve never seen anything that would suggest this is illegal. I also doubt a tenant would do that, and not sure exactly how a landlord would enforce it, but you can include it in the contract if both parties agree.[/quote]

I wasn’t necessarily saying that requirement would he illegal but sometimes landlord try to say things like “the first $100 of any plumbing call will be paid by the tenant” and that would be illegal in some cases. [/quote]
