Asked by
The light switch in the apartment i am renting is faulty and the agent says that i should have to bear the repair cost if its under $150. The contract does not state switches (only light bulbs) to be replaced by the tenant. Shouldn't the switch be classified as a fixture to the house and hence beared by the landlord? I have stayed in this apartment for less than 6 months. To bear such a "wear and tear" cost is quite unreasonable. Thanks

Dear Eugene,

The minor repair clause is usually applicable to all items provided in the apartment. Do go through carefully the tenancy agreement with your representing salesperson.

In such cases, my interpretation is that tenant will bear the first $150 of repair costs based on the minor repair clause.
