Nope. And then they donu2019t have to rent there either in the first place. Just like there are relative rankings or evaluations of Tenants, there are the same of Landlords. Some Landlords do the minimum and spend the minimum. They arenu2019t trying to attract the most affluent market or charge the highest rents. Think of the adage, you get what you pay for. A person should personally check out any place before they rent it. If itu2019s to your liking, rent it. If there are ANY changes you would require, you better put them in the lease. There is generally a section for that exact purpose. A lease is somewhat of a negotiation. Itu2019s not always take it or leave it. But at the time a lease is signed, both sides are legally obligated to it. If a tenant signed and then decides they want new appliances or bath fixtures, the Landlord is not obligated to prthem. If the lease states the Landlord will repair something or replace something, then yes they are obligated. Itu2019s not all that complicated of a process. Tenant would have to notify Landlord in writing that Landlord was in violation of the lease, the same as the reverse. Then give the Landlord adequate time to correct the problem. Then as a last resort the Tenant can take it upon themselves to repair or replace. Send the bills to the Landlord and deduct the costs from the rent.Most landlords will want to control the expenditure process and take care of their responsibilities and with their quality control. But if they wonu2019t, Tenants do have options. READ the lease carefully. There is always some wording about if the Landlord violates the lease and remedies. In reality, itu2019s more often the tenant violating the lease. The Landlord has some responsibilities. The Tenant who is using the Property has more in that they have to take care with the Property as they use it for the purpose it was intended.
