The homeowner's responsibilities regarding the maintenance of the home<\/h3>\n
The owner of a rented property is legally obliged to keep it in good condition<\/strong>, carrying out the necessary repairs so that it remains habitable. This obligation is set out in the Civil Code<\/strong>, the Horizontal Property Law<\/strong> and the Urban Leases Law<\/strong> (Law 29\/1994, of 24 November), among other regulations.<\/p>\n According to Article 21 of the Urban Lease Law, the landlord must cover the cost of all repairs necessary to maintain the dwelling in a suitable condition for habitation, without the right to increase the rent for this reason. However, this obligation does not apply when the damage is caused by a misuse<\/strong> or the tenant's failure to maintain the property.<\/p>\n If a conservation problem is detected that goes beyond minor repairs<\/strong> associated with the normal use of the property, the owner is responsible for carrying out the repairs as soon as possible. According to Article 21, the tenant must notify the owner of the need for the repair and allow access to the property so that the problem can be verified and the repair carried out.<\/p>\n If the situation is urgent and causes serious discomfort or imminent damage, the tenant may proceed to carry out the repair and then request reimbursement of the expenses from the owner. This process applies only in emergency situations and must be communicated to the owner beforehand.<\/p>\n When conservation works<\/strong> are so extensive that they hinder the normal use of the property, Article 21 of the Urban Leases Law establishes that the tenant is obliged to tolerate them, even if they are inconvenient or affect part of the property. However, if the duration of the works exceeds twenty days, the owner must reduce the rent in proportion to the part of the property that the tenant cannot use during that time.<\/p>\n The tenant also has obligations regarding the maintenance of the dwelling, especially with regard to the minor repairs<\/strong> resulting from normal wear and tear. These repairs are the tenant\u2019s responsibility and cannot be claimed from the landlord. This matter is governed by Article 21 of the Urban Lease Law, which specifies that maintenance resulting from normal use is the tenant\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n In addition to conservation repairs, the owner may decide to carry out improvement works<\/strong> on the property. These works are not intended for repair, but rather to improve the property and represent an investment to increase its value. Improvement works are regulated in Article 22 of the Urban Leases Law, which establishes that the owner must notify the tenant of the carrying out of these works at least three months in advance.<\/p>\n After receiving the notice, the tenant has one month to decide whether to withdraw from the contract<\/strong>. If the lease continues, the tenant will be entitled to a rent reduction proportional to the impact of the construction work and may also demand compensation for expenses incurred due to the inconvenience caused by the work.<\/p>\n Article 22 provides that if the tenant decides not to terminate the lease, he or she may choose to request a income reduction<\/strong> in proportion to the inconvenience caused and the length of time during which your use of the dwelling is affected. This reduction may be negotiated with the landlord, who must offer fair compensation for the inconvenience caused by the construction work.<\/p>\n If the conservation works are of such magnitude that they make the property uninhabitable<\/strong>, the tenant has the right to choose between the temporary suspension of the contract or its definitive termination, without any penalty. Suspension of the contract implies the interruption of its term, as well as the suspension of the obligation to pay rent while the works last. This provision is set out in Article 28 of the Urban Leases Law.<\/p>\n Article 21 of the Urban Leases Law establishes that all minor repairs and the maintenance of elements of everyday use in the property are the responsibility of the tenant. These obligations ensure that the tenant keeps the property in optimal condition during the lease period and cover aspects such as replacing light bulbs, repairing taps, among others.<\/p>\n In addition to conservation repairs, the owner may decide to carry out improvement works<\/strong> on the property. These works are not intended for repair, but rather to improve the property and represent an investment to increase its value. Improvement works are regulated in Article 22 of the Urban Leases Law, which establishes that the owner must notify the tenant of the carrying out of these works at least three months in advance.<\/p>\n The experience of living in a rented property for a prolonged period often involves the possibility of facing problems related to the state of conservation of the property or the need to carry out repairs or improvements to it. It is important that both the landlord<\/strong> and the tenant<\/strong> understand their respective legal obligations regarding the conservation and maintenance<\/strong> of the property, in order to ensure a harmonious relationship and avoid conflicts. In this article, we will analyze the rights and duties of both parties in accordance with the current regulations.<\/p>\n For more information, you can visit our page at Carlos Ba\u00f1o Law Firm<\/a> or find us on Google Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n Protecci\u00f3n de inquilinos ante obras y reformas La experiencia de vivir en alquiler por un periodo prolongado suele implicar la posibilidad de enfrentar problemas relacionados con el estado de conservaci\u00f3n de la vivienda o con la necesidad de realizar reparaciones o mejoras en ella.
