likely automatically continue as a month-to-month agreement. If you do not want your tenancy

writing before moving out.

Q: Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
A: Regular maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the owner, these are the normal
“wear and tear” items; However, when you, your guests, or your pets cause damage beyond “wear and tear”,
such as a broken window, you are responsible for that damage. The tenant is also responsible to report.
As soon as possible, when something is not working or goes wrong even is it isn’t your fault. If you
don’t you could be responsible if it becomes worst e.g. leaky plumbing under your kitchen sink.
