Common use of General Maintenance Clause in Contracts

General Maintenance. Maintenance is not solely the Landlord’s responsibility. It is shared between the Landlord and the Tenant(s). Tenant(s) must minimize maintenance problems with proper respect and operation of all systems. Although the Landlord repairs normal wear and tear items, the adage “you broke it you fix it” applies to the Tenant(s) and it applies during tenancy as well as at the end of tenancy. In addition, if a Tenant(s) calls for maintenance for which no such maintenance is needed (false call), Tenant(s) will be charged for the service call. All maintenance requests must be submitted in writing. Any dangerous conditions associated with the Premises must be submitted in writing. Chuckanut Property Management uses State Law as a guideline for prioritizing repairs. Chuckanut Property Management and State Law recognize that several conditions or heavy work schedules may, at times, delay response time. Maintenance items requiring communication with the Landlord may also be delayed. The Landlord makes the final decision regarding routine maintenance, long-term maintenance, and the general condition of the rental unit. Chuckanut Property Management works for the Owner and must abide by the Owner’s decision; however, we do advise Owners of Tenant’s rights on qualified items. Low-priority items or special requests are subject to “last on the list” status. Tenant(s) requests for maintenance or improvements are to be submitted in writing, detailing the requested work and volunteer labor or capital the Tenant(s) is willing to provide.
