Rental agreement terms and violation
1 year ago
Hi everyone, we are staying in a rented property for the last 10yrs. Till date, any broken faucets, electrical items were repaired and replaced by ourselves, since the owner never responded to repair them. Recently, the geyser stopped working due to long term salt deposit or normal usage over 10 years of span. When contacted the owner for repair ,he denied to repair and asked us repair it ourselves. We got it repaired, and paid 4000 in total. Now the owner is not ready pay for it. And claims, We should pay for it, because 10 years back when he rented us property it was brand new. And when we are vacating he wants house to be same as handed over to us 10 years back. Or else he will deduct amount from our deposit to replace. Till date he as never painted nor changed or repaired any items. All was fine by ourselves. We will be vacating house in a months time.
Review the rental agreement: Check the terms of your rental agreement to see if there are any clauses that cover repair and maintenance responsibilities. If the landlord is responsible for repairs, you may be able to make a claim for reimbursement.
Document the repairs: Keep records of the repair work you have done, including receipts and invoices. This will help you to demonstrate to the landlord that you have taken responsibility for repairs and maintenance that were not attended to by the landlord.
Negotiate with the landlord: Try to negotiate with the landlord to reach a mutually acceptable solution. You can explain the situation and how you have taken responsibility for repairs that the landlord did not attend to. You may be able to come to an agreement on how to handle the repair costs.
Seek legal advice: If you are unable to reach a resolution with the landlord, you can seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer who specializes in tenancy law. They can guide you on your legal rights and options.
Review the deposit: When you are vacating the property, review the deposit and any deductions made by the landlord. If you feel that the landlord has unfairly deducted money for repairs, you can challenge the deduction and seek recourse through the legal system if necessary.
Remember to keep all relevant documents and evidence to support your case. This will help you to demonstrate that you have acted in good faith and taken responsibility for the repairs that the landlord did not attend to.
Thank You
