who is resonsible for maintaning the windows on a leasehold property?

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean by 'maintenance'. If you mean keeping the glass clean, the person who is renting the property is responsible for that. If you mean repairs and maintenance to the window structure, that's the building owner's responsibility. If you are talking about glass breakage, that is also usually borne by the person who is renting.

Answer 2

It really depends on how the lease is worded, but under most circumstances, the landlord is responsible for any repair/replacement of the window that is due to age or failure due to some reason other than damage from the tenant. If the window was damaged by the tenant, the tenant is responsible. The tenant is also responsible for "daily maintenance" - keeping them clean, keeping them in good working order, etc.

In the lease that my tenants have signed, they are responsible for any repairs under $25, replacement of landscaping that is damaged or dies from not being watered, repairs to all inside walls, and repairs to plumbing due to frozen pipes or stopped up pipes. As a landlord, I am responsible for roof, foundation, and exterior walls.

After listing the above items (and maybe even going into detail on a few more), the lease reads: "The intent of this part of the lease is to create an agreement whereby the LESSOR is responsible for the normal major upkeep of the building. LESSEE is responsible for minor upkeep of rental. "

Answer 3

Normally the lessee is responsible for maintaining the leased property, unless the lease agreement states otherwise.

Answer 4

normally windows (as in cleaning ) you are responsible, now if there is something wrong with the windows (not stopping cold air) i would speak to your landlord about getting it fixed.

Answer 5

Well it will be the owner of the freehold, and the person you pay maintenance to.

Answer 6

100% you.
