Both parties need to understand responsibility of lease contract Landlords and tenants have a better chance of seeing eye-to-eye if each understands the respon sibilities and rights of the other. Keep in mind that each of you is free to bargain about the terms of the rental agreement. But once the bargaining is over and you've agreed to a set of conditions, you must carry out those terms. In ad dition, each of you has certain duties and rights established by law. If you've a tenant, your duties are: to pay the rent, keep your home clean and safe, and free of damage. If you or invited guests damage the property, it's you, not the landlord, who's responsible for repairs. You won't be held responsible for ordinary wear and tear or for damage caused by nature or by uninvited people. If something gOjes wrong that your landlord sbould fix, let him know in writing. Keep a copy of the letter of memo for yourself. You'll also need to realize that any im provements you make to the pro perty become a gift to the landlord. If you're a landlord you have certain duties. You must comply with current housing and building codes, make all repairs, and keep refltal property in a fit and habitable condition. You must also keep all common areas in safe con dition and make any repairs designated in the agreement. Except in emergencies, notify your tenants of any breaches they have made in the contract in writing. Keep a copy for your records. There are laws that deal with security deposits and when the landlord can and cannot keep them. Basically a landlord may keep a security deposit for actual damages only. Actual damages in clude breakages and other physical damage done to an apartment over and above normal wear and tear, back rent, and the amount of rent the landlord loses if the tenant breaks the lease. In situations where a tenant breaks the lease, the entire security deposit is not automatically forfeited. The landlord can only keep the prorated amount equal to the number of days the apartment is left vacant. So if a new tenant is found quickly, the "old" tenant should get all or almost all of the security deposit back. What recourse do you have if things go wrong? As a tenant you have the right to complain to the landlord and to an appropriate grovernmental agency. You have the right to exercise your rights under the law and you have the right to join with other tenants to secure your rights. If after reasonable notice, your landlord fails to carry out the legal On the Front Burner! Alice Pettitt Home Economics I Agent j duties of a landlord, you have the right to move out. And you have the right to seek relief in court. But unless you have permission of the court -- don't try withholding the rent. If you're a landlord, you have the right to rent your property to whom-ever you choose at whatever rate you choose. You may not raise the rent during the term of the lease and you must give the renter proper notice if you wish to make changes in the agreement. You may evict a tenant who violates any provision of your ren tal agreement. But you do not have the right to use physical force or other breaches of the peace when evicting someone. You may also reserve the right to enter, inspect and repair your pro perty at any reasonable time and in reasonable manner. And you have the right to expect your property to be returned to you in a reasonable condition. This message is based on infor mation from the North Carolina Bar Association.
