It's not what the lease says...it's the fact that the landlord never investigated the repair...so by default the tenant winds up in charge.

False. Ignoring what a lease does or doesn't say is bad silly.

I think a landlord should respond to investigate any tenant repair regardless of what the lease says. Wouldn't you want to protect your investment from possible faulty repairs that could damage your rental or would you be more concerned what the lease said who was responsible? This landlord seems to not be concerned about the repair, but whether who pays. Your comment about it being silly comes across as sexist! Are you sexist toward women? Why would you reply to a women with the term silly?

Since when is the word "silly" a sexist term?? (And yes, I'm a woman and a feminist.)
