The maintenance staff will fix things in your apartment that belong to the landlord. For example, if the sink leaks or the refrigerator doesn’t work, the maintenance staff will fix it. You will be responsible for fixing anything you break due to misuse or that is beyond “normal wear and tear.” For example, if the window blinds get bent/broken or there are holes in the walls, you will be responsible for paying for new blinds or repairing the hole in the wall.
