Your Responsibilities as a Tenant

Tenants are responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of the property, ensuring it is kept clean, well maintained, and used responsibly. Minor items such as light bulbs and batteries should be replaced as needed, and any maintenance issues should be reported promptly to prevent escalation. Clear and timely communication helps ensure all matters are resolved efficiently and without delay.
