What is My Landlord Required to Repair?
11
Dec
It’s December and the mercury in the thermometer is rapidly falling. What if your landlord hasn’t fixed that furnace that hasn’t been working properly?
Often, residential renters complain that their landlord is not repairing various defects on the premesis. Obligations for the Landlord are found in the Ohio Revised Code § 5321.04. Basicly, the landlord is required as follows:
- Repairs required to make the premesis livable;
- Ensure that the electric, plumbing, heating, and ventilation is functioning properly;
- Supply heat (both hot water and to regulate the temperature within;
- Keep common areas clean (such as hallways and stairways used by multiple tenants);
- Provide garbage cans/dumpster for waste disposal (if there are more than 4 tenants);
- Give at least 24 hrs notice before entering the home, unless there is an emergency (tenant may otherwise deny entrance); and
- Make sure the premesis is up to code.
If your landlord is not meeting these requirement, there are recourses. However, whatever you do, do not simply withhold rent. You must go through the proper channels. This will be the subject of a post in the near future. Cheers fom Freeforlaw.com!!!
