As a tenant, you may wonder what some of your responsibilities are when it comes to taking care of an apartment. You will want to make sure that it looks nice and is not dirty and that you are not destroying it along the way. But if there is something major wrong with the apartment, then it is time to call in the landlord. If this is the first apartment that you have rented, you may get  confused on what things you should fix and what the landlord should handle for you.

A few things to keep in mind when it comes to tenant responsibilities include:

# Routine Maintenance: Tenants are generally responsible for minor maintenance tasks like replacing light bulbs, keeping the apartment clean, and properly using appliances. You need to take good care of the place that you are calling your own home to avoid some major issues with it later on.

# Preventive Measures: Report issues promptly to prevent them from becoming bigger problems. If there is something that you can do to prevent a major issue within the apartment, then you will be responsible for that. You should earn some of these skills to make sure that they are going to work well for you.

# Damage: Tenants are typically responsible for repairs resulting from their negligence or misuse. You should not cause a lot of damage to the apartment. You may call it your home, but the landlord owns it. You need to take good care of it, or the landlord can take your security deposit and even come after you to fix larger damages.

If it is something outside of these three categories, then you can call up the landlord and see what their rules are on getting it fixed and ready to go. They need to handle some of the larger issues or bring in a professional to make sure that you are safe and protected in your home.
