Tenant Responsibilities

The landlord can only charge the cost of repairs if the tenant does not comply with specific obligations related to their lease agreement. To fulfill the tenant’s responsibility while under the lease agreement, the tenant must:

· Keep the premises, including all plumbing fixtures, clean and safe.

· Dispose of garbage and other waste in a clean and safe manner.

· Use all facilities (e.g. electrical, plumbing, heating, etc.) and appliances reasonably.

· Comply with the maximum number of persons allowed to occupy the premises.

· Promptly inform the landlord of any damages or repairs.

· Leave the premises in the same condition it was in when it was handed to the tenant.

Additionally, the tenant may not:

· Alter the premises without obtaining permission from the landlord.

· Negligently or deliberately destroy, damage, or remove parts of the premises.

· Unreasonably disturb the neighbor’s peaceful enjoyment of the premises.

· Engage in illegal activities involving prostitution, gambling, use of alcohol or controlled or prohibited substances, and other similar or illegal activities, or in activities promoting the same within the premises.

If any damage occurs as a result of the tenant’s failure to comply with any of the above obligations, then the landlord may take the cost of remedying it from the security deposit.
