Landlord Obligations

The landlord has a few different things that they are required to do as a landlord. They are responsible for ensuring that the dwelling is in a livable condition. This means that they are not able to rent any building out that they know is not up to standards when it comes to health codes or other building codes that have been put into place. 

Some of the requirements for livable conditions include 

- Having the building being protected from any types of weather or water in both the walls and the roof as well
- Plumbing facilities that are fully functional and operate without any problems 
- Water is provided either from a well or other means and is available in both cold and hot forms. It must also be in fully functioning condition

- Some form of heating should be available to the tenant for the duration of the rental agreement
- The electrical codes should be adhered to in regards to the electricity and the wiring of the location
- The dwelling and any surrounding area such as the lawn shouldn't have an accumulation of dirt, debris, vermin, or rodents either. 

- All of the floors, roofing, walls, stairs, and banisters should be kept in working order and otherwise good condition

If the landlord does not follow these conditions the tenant has the right to end the rental agreement due to a violation or even make repairs to the property and deduct from the rent if an agreement is made between the two parties to do so. The tenant is ultimately responsible for making the landlord aware of any problems with the dwelling in writing before any actions can be taken by the tenant.

Tenant Obligations

A tenant also has a set of obligations that they need to adhere to as well while living on the premises. The most basic and simple is to abide by the rental agreement that was established at the beginning of the rental which is primarily to pay the rent by the due date and in full.

to keep the dwelling clean as possible and ensure that all the garbage, ashes, any other waste is disposed of properly. They are also required to keep the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and elevators in reasonable condition as they were once they moved into the place. A tenant is also responsible for making certain that nothing is damaged or broken. They must also not take anything that belongs on the property including furnishings and appliances that were provided with the dwelling. 

They also need to make sure that they don't disturb any people around them by acting out in a loud fashion or any other way which will make the other residents peace disturbed. 

Similar to the landlord obligations, the tenant can be evicted if they do not follow the appropriate regulations set forth in the agreement. The landlord has a few different things that they can do in these circumstances. 

They can make the required repairs if they need to be done in order to keep the property in good condition or even evict the tenant if ultimately that is what needs to be done due to a breech in the terms that were already outlined in the agreement. 

Upkeep and Repairs

The upkeep of the dwelling is generally the responsibility of the landlord and they are required to make any of the repairs that are necessary in a timely manner. 

The tenant needs to inform the landlord of what needs to be done if they are not aware of a problem. The common areas, such as in the cases of apartment buildings, are the responsibility of the landlord as well. In some rental agreements repairs may be the responsibility of the tenant but this is only if the agreement states that. If no specifications are set forth about the repairs and upkeep, it is assumed that the landlord is going to be responsible.

The landlord has 48 hours to restore services that may fail such as water, heat, or electricity unless it is a weekend or holiday if they happen to fail as long as the tenant has given them written notice about the complication and service not being available due to repairs being needed. 

Withholding Rent for Repairs

The tenant does not have the right to hold rent in order for repairs to be made prior to the repair being fixed unless there has been an agreement between 

the landlord and tenant for some minor repairs to be made to the property which is therefore then deducted from the total amount of rent that is owed. las vegas rentals
