Your responsibilitiesYou can't be forced to do repairs that are your landlord's responsibility. If you damage another tenant's flat, eg if water leaks into another flat from an overflowing bath, you're responsible for paying for the repairs.
Landlords' responsibilities The law requires landlords to keep the premises safe and in good condition and to: Fix water leaks from the roof, doors, windows, or walls. Repair plumbing, gas, heating, and electrical problems. Keep the grounds outside your unit clean, safe, and free of pests such as mice and roaches.
Tenants' repair responsibilities Repairs that tenants are responsible for include: Damage to the property caused by themselves, their family or their guests. Damage to their own furniture, appliances, or other personal belongings. Minor repairs outlined in the tenancy agreement.
Under the California Civil Code, landlords of a property must ensure that certain conditions are met which make the living space habitable and safe for potential lessees. These conditions include ensuring proper electric, gas, and plumbing utilities, as well as installing proper locks and security systems.
As mentioned, the tenant is assumed responsible for maintaining and repairing any damage that was caused by themselves, friends, family or pets - whether directly or accidentally. Tenants should always assume that repairs are their responsibility, if the problem was not caused by general wear and tear.
