Re: Repairs - LPA Lease - Garage Door Spring?? by Shelly (NM) on April 30, 2012 @10:50

                              
I'm wondering why you don't just get someone to look at the garage door? If I was renting and my garage door didn't close, I would be concerned and wanting it fixed right away. Not a "minor" repair when the contents of your garage are exposed to anyone riding by. As to the microwave, you might have that and other nonessential appliances (if you provided them) exempted from your responsibility...unless that's her only cooking appliance. If it was in the unit when you rented it to them, you are responsible for fixing it should it go on the fritz, however, things like washers and dryers and microwaves aren't essential appliances.

Shelly, thanks for replying... do you have the LPA Lease?
The reason I ask is because there is verbage there regarding some of these issues, and I'd like to know what Landlords who have had similar problems have done in the matter, I really do appreciate your reply though, on a personal level I agree with you in your views, but I have to think as a Landlord, and I bought the LPA lease for this reason, as my property is 700 miles from where I live, we made it so the tenants would be responsible for some issues, since I can not be there all the time.
