Marie M | Can a landlord refuse to do maintenance when a tenant has not paid rent? |
|

The first thing you need to do is look at your lease and see what it stipulates regarding what repairs you are responsible for regardless of the rent situation. Secondly, are the tenants withholding rent due to poor maintenance, (or claiming to)? If so they need to have the rent money put in to an escrow account while the issue goes to court if they do not have it in escrow then they automatically lose. The reasoning being that if they were going to pay it if maintenance was done properly they should have the funds available to pay immediately after repairs are made, if they don't have it then most judges realize they are just deadbeats looking to skate. As far as repairs concerning tenants that don't pay my advice is this, it's your property and in the long run you are only hurting yourself and your property value by not making timely repairs, however, I wouldn't be doing cosmetic fixes such as carpet, paint, blinds, towel bars, etc. . . but I would make sure that the unit was mechanically sound for your own protection. Best of luck. |

why are you allowing them not to pay rent. Rent is due the first of the month. And quit making excuses |

Read the contract. Basic maintenance to maintain water/electricity would normally be required. |

First answer this: has the tenant refused to pay rent because you are not doing legally-required maintenance? If so, you are in error and the local authorities will come down hard on you.
If you are not doing your job simply beasue the tenant is defaulting on the rent, then you had better just bite the bullet: do the maintence and give the tenant an eviction notice.
If you are a landlord, you really should know this. |

All I can speak for is Texas, but here, you absolutely must do maintenance, but they can not withhold rent because if it. Renters always seem to think that they dont have to pay rent if maintenance needs tobe done, not true here. |

I would say no, because if you refuse maintenance then you are breaching the contract the same as they are by not paying rent, and it could hurt you in court. |

I think you're both in violation of the lease, which is a mutually-binding contract. Tenant should pay rent immediately and request that the landlord do maintenance immediately also. |

Usually no, the landlord should just evict the deadbeat but keep the premises up. |

It's possible that the basic necessities would have to be maintained but it could also be argued that the tenant is in breach of contract for non-payment so the tenant does not have negotiating room on this. |
