Know what belongs to the tenant
Cleaning and ordinary organization are different from structural, building-system or common-area responsibilities.
Report building problems promptly
Leaks, electrical concerns or other property defects should go through the landlord/property-management process rather than improvised repair.
Keep move-in and service records
Photos, notices and maintenance communications can help document the condition of the unit.
Follow the lease and local rules
Responsibilities vary by agreement and jurisdiction.
General household information only. Follow product labels and manufacturer instructions. Electrical, gas, structural, hazardous-material and other safety-critical work belongs to appropriately qualified professionals.
