Tenant pays gas, electric,revent Tenant-Caused Damage: Tenants are financially liable for damage caused by their own misuse, negligence, abuse, or unauthorized modifications. This includes damage caused by invited guests or unapproved pets. Promptly Report Maintenance Issues: Tenants are legally obligated to notify the landlord in writing as soon as structural, plumbing, heating, or water-intrusion issues occur. Failing to report a leak that eventually leads to massive floor rot or mold can shift repair liability onto the tenant. Keep the Property Clean & Sanitary: Maintain basic hygiene inside and outside the home to prevent pest infestations (rodents, roaches). Under local rules, if a pest issue is proven to be caused by tenant neglect (e.g., trash accumulation), the tenant may be billed for extermination. Allow Lawful Entry for Repairs: Allow the landlord access to inspect or complete needed maintenance after receiving proper advance written notice (typically 2 days in Cook County). 2. Standard Single-Family House Maintenance (Lease-Driven)Because single-family homes have yards, driveways, and standalone systems, the lease usually delegates routine exterior and operational upkeep to the tenant:Lawn Care & Yard Maintenance: Mowing the lawn, trimming weeds, and keeping the yard free of debris or municipal code violations (which can draw city fines if neglected).Snow & Ice Removal: Keeping walkways, steps, and driveways clear of snow and ice during winter months.Basic Utility Maintenance: Replacing interior HVAC air filters (every 1 3 months), changing light bulbs, and replacing batteries in smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.Seasonal Hose Bib & Freeze Protection: Disconnecting outdoor garden hoses before freezing weather sets in to prevent exterior pipes from bursting.Trash & Recyclables: Placing waste bins out on designated pickup days and securing lids to prevent animal scavenging.3.
