[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]

As a landlord I would get calls for most of the items you mentioned there and it's our responsibility to fix.  And some things, like plumbing or bathroom fixtures or kitchen cabinets we actually would not want our tenant to tinker with and mess up even more.  Whenever you need experienced help, you call the landlord.  Usually, if you have major damages, like scraped floors, holes in the walls, damaged carpet, broken window, etc, you can expect this to be taken out of your deposit upon move out. but if you still occupy hte place, I understand this that landlord has to fix at their expense.
