This includes compliance with the standards of decency defined by law.<\/p>\n<p>During the inventory, if work is required, it is up to the owner to carry it out. <strong>before entering the premises<\/strong>The real estate professional plays a key role here in informing the lessor of his obligations.<\/p>\n<p>If the agency ensures the <strong>rental management<\/strong>, she becomes the tenant&#039;s preferred contact in the event of technical problems.<\/p>\n<h2>Routine maintenance: a tenant&#039;s obligation<\/h2>\n<p>The tenant is responsible for maintaining the accommodation on a daily basis, by carrying out <strong>so-called rental repairs<\/strong>These interventions are generally simple and inexpensive.<\/p>\n<p>The law of July 6, 1989 (article 7) and the decree of August 26, 1987 provide a <strong>indicative list<\/strong> repairs at his expense.
