Do Your Job
We have seen issues caused by maintenance needs earlier in the article. Well, this one is a peculiar case, as both parties believe that the other person should do it. In all honesty, maintenance is the landlord’s duty, but what happens if he stays far away? Should the tenant take care of quick fixes?
In this case, the tenant informed the landlord about the condition of the driveway. The landlord replied to him, stating that he can handle it by himself in just two minutes. Knowing what he is entitled to, the tenant clearly and rightly states that it is not his job. It is not his job, but the landlord thought it would not hurt for him to just get it done – you know, just do it.
