Does the landlord make the apartment repairs or do i have to pay for them?

In: Renting, Property Law, Landlord-Tenant Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

It depends on what it is. If it's something that makes the apartment unlivable, the landlord is responsible to make the repair. If you're looking for something that is considered cosmetic, then you can get permission from the landlord to do it yourself. Try to negotiate with him to pay part of the cost.
