Does My Landlord Fix Heater in My Rental Property?

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Yilitza Acosta

As a tenant, your landlord is obligated to maintain the rental property and make it comfortable and habitable. Some states have laws governing how landlords much keep up their rental properties, while others leave it up to the landlord how to care for his or her property.

Taking care of your property means either maintenance or repair.

A repair is needed if something breaks, malfunctions, or becomes inoperable; it is generally the responsibility of the landlord to repair it as quickly as possible. There are also repairs that are considered necessities of daily life that would include running and/or hot water, heat, air conditioning, and proper ventilation.

Normally, a landlord is required to repair the heater when the damage is not the fault of the tenant, such as a water line breaking. But if you intentionally cause the damage, you will be held responsible for the repair costs, even though heat is considered a necessity of daily life. For example, if a tenant knocks over a water heater, rendering it inoperable, it will still need to be fixed as quickly as possible. Since hot water is considered a necessity of daily life, this is not a repair that can be put off, even if the tenant is unable to pay for the replacement at the time. You may end up covering the costs of repair or replacement at first, and then working out a repayment schedule with the tenant over time.

You may be tempted to not inform you of a problem right away and attempt to fix it, and then deduct the amount of the repair from the rent. Before you make this decision, be sure to check your lease to see if the landlord will allow such action. You should also check the rental laws in your state regarding this situation, since landlord-tenant laws vary from state to state. If you landlord does not make the necessary repairs after you have notified them of the problem, you will know what your options are when it comes to your rent. Some states allow repairs to be withheld from the rent while others do not.

Maintenance is usually the responsibility of the landlord, which is the general upkeep of the property. You should check your lease to see if maintaining the heater is your responsibility or not. If you have any questions, you should talk with your landlord to determine how maintenance of the heater is to be handled.

You should have a clear understanding of the terms of your lease and be sure to notify your landlord if you have any problems, even if you need to fix your heater. A heater is a necessity of life and it should be repaired as quickly as possible.
