The tenant shall bear the costs for the following repairs

In a tenancy agreement, there are clear rules about which repairs and maintenance measures must be borne by the tenant. These regulations serve to clearly define the responsibilities between landlord and tenant and avoid disputes.

The costs for certain repairs are generally borne by the tenant. This usually includes minor cosmetic repairs such as repairing small holes in the walls, painting walls and ceilings and repairing damage caused by improper use or negligence on the part of the tenant.

Furthermore, costs for the maintenance and servicing of equipment and appliances for the tenant’s personal use are the tenant’s responsibility. This includes, for example, repairs to the tenant’s own fixtures and fittings such as furniture, electrical appliances or sanitary facilities, provided they are not caused by normal wear and tear.

It is important that the tenant regularly carries out minor repairs and maintenance work in order to maintain the proper condition of the rented flat or property. This not only helps to maintain the value of the property, but also ensures that the tenant can stay in a safe and well-maintained environment.

In every tenancy, the exact regulations regarding repair costs should be set out in the tenancy agreement. If there are any uncertainties or questions, it is advisable to contact the landlord and, if necessary, seek legal advice to clarify misunderstandings and avoid conflicts.
