💧Water's not running ? Broken pump ? Who's paying for the fix ?
Everything was going fine...
Until one day, the water just stopped.
.
Now what ? How are you supposed to live like this?
I totally get it—no one wants to deal with problems like this.
But the real issue is :
.
Who's responsible for covering the repair costs?
Let’s keep it simple. There are only 2 scenarios:
.
1. Damage caused by the tenant
Dropped something into the pipe?
Overused the water pump until it burned out?
→ In this case, the tenant should cover the cost.
.
2. Wear and tear over time
If the system broke down naturally—leaks, pump failure from normal use
→ This is part of the property’s infrastructure.
The landlord should take responsibility.
.
.
And this is exactly why a solid rental agreement matters.
A good contract spells out who pays for what—before problems arise.
.
Don’t have one ?
.
I’ve got a ready-to-use, professional rental agreement that covers all the essentials.

Message me and I’ll send it to you—for free.
Better to be protected than to argue later when the water stops flowing.
