Q. Who will bear the cost of an air conditioner malfunction?
A. If it is installed as equipment, the lessor will generally be responsible for the cost. If installed by yourself, the tenant will be responsible for the installation. Check the "Equipment" section of your contract.
Q. Where can I see the water heater error code?
A. It will be displayed as a 2-digit number on the bathroom remote control or kitchen remote control. There is a list of codes in the instruction manual, and you can also search on the manufacturer's website.
Q. Is emergency response available at night and on weekends?
A. This can be done if the management company has a 24-hour reception. Travel costs for locksmiths and plumbing work are often expensive (2 to 3 times more expensive at night).
Q. Can I call in a contractor without the landlord's permission?
A. Basically no. Be sure to contact the management company or landlord and use a designated contractor. Making your own arrangements can lead to cost burden problems.
Q. What if I need to stay overnight during repairs?
A. Consult with the management company. If the landlord makes major repairs, it may be covered by temporary housing or insurance.
