A.Hi.
Firstly check on to the agreement whether it has any specific clause regarding the duty of a tenant. If doesn't have, discuss the same with the owner and mutually decide. However, if you are repairing any damage let the owner know about it and ask him to deduct the amount from the rent, or, as it may deem fit for both of you, do it mutually.

A.Hi.
If there is a specific clause in the agreement regarding the duties of the tenant you may do the needful. Similarly, if any confusion arises regarding the duty of the tenant, kindly discuss the same with the owner and mutually draw a conclusion for the same. If you are repairing any damage let the owner know about it and ask him to deduct the amount from the rent, or, if he wants to separately pay it, it may depend upon both of yours mutual decision.
