It is the landlord’s duty to maintain the property properly. That means you can call on your landlord to make major repairs. You can also expect a landlord to do maintenance from time to time.<\/p>\n

The landlord takes care of the major, periodic maintenance. Examples include repairing a leaking roof, maintaining exterior painting, and replacing a central heating boiler.<\/p>\n

The tenant takes care of the minor, day-to-day maintenance. Examples include fixing a dripping faucet, keeping the flue clean, and washing accessible windows.<\/p>\n

The government has provided a complete overview of all maintenance tasks. Visit the website of the government<\/a> to check who should pay for different kinds of maintenance.<\/p>\n

As a tenant, you are required to report any defects known to you to the landlord. This enables the landlord to do something about it. If the landlord does not address the problem, then the Rent Support Center Groningen can help you by mediating between you and your landlord.<\/p>\n

If mediation does not help, the Rent Support Center can initiate proceedings for you with the Rent Tribunal. As a last resort, it is possible to enforce maintenance through court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
