No. Your wrong. YOU (the LL) did not do the preventative maintenance. Unless specifically written into your lease, the LL is responsible for checking and repairing all parts of a home. It's YOUR property, and YOU need to protect it. A tenants responsibility is to call the LL about problems with YOUR house, and YOU come to repair them. And even if it's in your lease, where is the incentive to find and repair things? It's going to cost them time and money to fix YOUR house. A T could live there for years, not fixing anything, and not telling you about any problems. Then move out, and leave YOU with a huge amount of repair costs.
