Discover who is responsible for the work in your rented accommodation!

Are you searching for a new rental property and wondering what you can do within a lease? Or perhaps you are already a tenant and want to know your rights regarding repairs and maintenance? Don’t worry, we have all the answers for you!

First, let’s discuss the landlord-initiated works. As a landlord, he has the option to undertake works to improve his property and bring it up to standards. Whether it is renovating the roof, modernizing the bathroom or kitchen, or enhancing energy efficiency, he has the power to transform your accommodation. Well, there are obligations that landlords must fulfill in terms of maintenance. They must ensure that the property is in good repair and safe. This means repairing leaks, replacing faulty equipment, and maintaining the structure of the accommodation.

On the other hand, certain works are the responsibility of the tenant. This mainly includes routine maintenance of the property. This can include tasks such as painting walls, cleaning pipes, maintaining the garden, and replacing light bulbs. These minor repairs are typically the tenant’s responsibility unless otherwise stated in the lease agreement.

It is important to note that some works require prior agreement between the landlord and the tenant. These mainly involve works that will permanently modify the accommodation. For example, if a tenant wants to replace a bathtub with a shower, they must obtain the landlord’s consent before proceeding with the works.

Finally, let’s not forget that works to adapt to disability or loss of autonomy can be carried out in a rented property. These works are generally the responsibility of the tenant, but financial aid can be obtained through the scheduled accessibility Agenda for properties built before 2015.
