Did you know not everything is your landlord’s job? Here’s what YOU are responsible for—so you don’t get surprised. That's coming up in this week's episode of Knowing More.
You’re expected to keep your home clean and dispose of trash properly. If damage happens because of carelessness? You could be charged.
Don’t overload outlets, force jammed doors? or let grease build up. Misuse can lead to repairs—and extra costs for you.
And-          If you notice leaks? broken fixtures? or heating and cooling issues, tell your manager right away. The lease says you must give prompt notice to avoid worse damage.
So, Read your lease, care for your space, and don’t wait to report issues. The more you know, the stronger your housing security.
