Standard repair obligations involve matters of safety, security, and structural soundness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some common repair problems tenants deal with and how long a landlord has to fix them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does a landlord have to fix hot water?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hot water problems in a rental property fall under the critical issue category. If the tenant reports an issue with the hot water supply, the landlord must fix it within 24 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landlords must make a reasonable attempt to complete the repairs within two days. However, a landlord cannot be held accountable for matters out of their control, such as lack of available parts or if the plumber is not available on short notice. As long as the landlord makes reasonable efforts to fix the problem promptly, they\u2019ll meet the obligation to provide a habitable property.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long can a landlord leave you without air conditioning?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a habitable<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentpath.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rental property<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, tenants can expect standard amenities like hot water, a non-leaking roof, flushing toilets, heat, a place to dispose of garbage, and doors that lock securely. Air conditioning is not a standard amenity for many parts of the United States. If your local or federal housing laws make no mention of a cooling system, landlords aren\u2019t required to provide air conditioning for basic habitability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your landlord provides you with an air conditioner as part of the appliance package in your lease, the repairs are considered non-critical. Your landlord has 5-14 days to complete the repairs after you notify them of the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re still questioning how long your landlord can leave you without air conditioning, check your local landlord\/tenant laws and understand your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/guides\/what-rights-do-renters-have\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">renters rights<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515.jpg\" alt=\"repairs needed \" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515-944x630.jpg 944w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691515-449x300.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does a landlord have to fix a leaking roof?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A leaking roof may be annoying and bothersome, but it\u2019s not considered a critical repair unless the leak is severe, like a river coming through your ceiling. A steady drip is a non-critical repair, and most landlords have up to 30 days to fix it once the tenant notifies them. However, the landlord must consider the severity of the leak. If the leak fills up a large bucket in less than a week, this can be a significant issue, and the landlord must make reasonable efforts to fix the problem as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does a landlord have to replace a refrigerator?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s never a good day when you open your refrigerator only to see the lights are out and it\u2019s warming up. How long a landlord has to fix or replace a refrigerator depends on your state laws. In some states, landlords don\u2019t have to provide appliances for a rental unit, although many landlords do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your lease to see if the appliances are listed as part of your agreement, and follow the lease guidelines to request repairs. Repair requests are typically made in writing or through an online resident portal. Once notified, the landlord has between 14 and 30 days to fix or replace a refrigerator.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some landlords have lease clauses that state that tenants can use the appliances, but the appliances are not part of what the tenant is renting. This type of clause usually says that if the tenant uses the appliances, the tenant is responsible for the repairs and maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long can a tenant be left without water?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water system failure is considered a critical repair. Running water is essential for the health and well-being of a tenant. Therefore, a landlord can\u2019t leave a tenant without running water for more than two days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A landlord can\u2019t restrict the water supply unless it\u2019s for urgent plumbing repairs or water supply fixtures and fittings. If the landlord needs to shut off the water to repair a non-critical leak or renovate the property, the landlord can arrange to turn off the water supply temporarily with notice and prior approval from the tenant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does a landlord have to fix a furnace?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, the lack of a working heat source will violate local building codes. Most local building inspectors consider the lack of heat a critical issue and will require landlords to fix a furnace in 3-7 days during cold weather. Typically, the temperature of a rental unit must be kept at 67 degrees or above during all seasons. If you\u2019ve notified your landlord and it\u2019s not a critical repair, they have 30 days to complete any furnace repairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does a landlord have to fix sewage problems?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a sewage backup is not a pleasant situation, this is still often considered a non-critical issue. Most landlords have up to 30 days to fix a sewage problem. However, many will take care of such problems much sooner, often within 7-14 days, even if state or local laws don\u2019t require a timeline that short.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the landlord responsible for the major appliances?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many landlords provide major appliances, like a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, or air-conditioner, they\u2019re not required for a rental unit. Typically, appliances are included in the lease as items for the tenant\u2019s use. Most landlords will claim responsibility for major appliances but require a written repair request. From there, they have 30 days to fix the problem. In some cases, the landlord provides appliances but includes a clause in the lease that states that the tenant is responsible for having them fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148.jpg\" alt=\"landlord tenant law \" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148-226x150.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148-947x630.jpg 947w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-pixabay-48148-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who do you call when your landlord does not fix rental repairs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Step 1:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In some situations, you\u2019ve followed all of the guidelines in your lease regarding how to notify the landlord of a needed repair and have given them reasonable opportunities to fix the problem \u2013 but they haven\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your landlord is unresponsive, talk with other tenants to learn if they\u2019ve had similar issues. Chances are they\u2019re unresponsive to other tenants as well. If that\u2019s the case, you can join together in a written request to fix the problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Call your local building inspector or health inspector\u2019s office and request an inspection. The inspector will investigate the situation and typically give the landlord a notice of violation and 30 to 60 days to complete the repair. You\u2019ll need your original written repair request and all correspondence from your landlord. Bringing in a building inspector can be an effective way to get the required repairs completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your landlord doesn\u2019t follow through with repairs, make a formal complaint with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">housing department<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which may resolve the issue. If you\u2019ve come this far, you may want to consult with an attorney before moving to step five.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 5<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Take the landlord to small claims court to replace or repair the item. Be aware that there are no guarantees of a favorable outcome. The judge may side in the landlord&#8217;s favor, and a landlord could retaliate and have you evicted. You may want to send the landlord one last letter before taking this step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can a landlord make a tenant pay for repairs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult your lease to understand if your landlord can make you, as a tenant, pay for repairs. According to most lease agreements, if a tenant breaks something in the rental unit, they\u2019re responsible for the repair cost. However, if something at the property breaks at no fault of the tenant, the landlord is usually reliable. The lease should explain which items fall under the tenant&#8217;s responsibility and which are the landlord\u2019s responsibility. Most landlords don\u2019t want tenants to make major repairs because of the risk of injury or further damage. Common repairs you should expect to pay for as a tenant include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacement light bulbs\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damages caused by a pet, such as chewed blinds or woodwork, or soiled carpet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smells or stains from smoking inside in a non-smoking unit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any damage caused by yourself or your guests<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any issue you failed to report for an extended period and thus caused more extensive damage\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overloaded electrical outlets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damage caused by failure to follow instructions for care and proper use of appliances <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(i.e., allowing dryer lint to build up)<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to dispose of trash or debris<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabling or removing safety features<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (such as smoke detectors)<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damage caused by flushing improper items down the toilet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any damages beyond normal wear and tear<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making some repairs yourself can unintentionally break your lease &#8211; unless it\u2019s a minor fix like replacing a lightbulb. As a tenant, you should always consult with your landlord before tackling repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is considered an uninhabitable living situation for a tenant?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your local laws and housing codes dictate what is considered uninhabitable living conditions. These laws and codes specify certain living conditions and outline specific obligations for a landlord. Some examples of uninhabitable living conditions are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Utilities not working: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your landlord or property manager must ensure that your utilities are in working order and safe to use.

As a tenant, it is your responsibility to reference your lease and ask the landlord to clarify anything you don\u2019t understand. Be aware of your apartment\u2019s and state\u2019s landlord repair process and how long a landlord has to fix something. Even if it\u2019s not a \u201ccritical\u201d repair, it\u2019s essential to document any needed repairs as soon as they become evident. Keep a record of your communication efforts (verbal and written) and when or if the problem was resolved. Communicate often and use certified letters to prove delivery and receipt &#8211; and always keep a copy yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin does not provide legal advice.
