Office Lease electrical repair tenant responsibility
Tenant says there is a short in the lighting above his secretary’s desk. Lease language under Tenant’s covenants states tenant is responsible to keep demised premises (where light is located) is “good condition and repair” 

Landlord covenants per lease limited to structural repairs,doors,roof

Tenant surprised they are responsible for fixing short but as property manager I take “good condition and repair” as their expense to fix
[{"id": "ica6ri9", "text": "Was the problem definitely not there when the Tenant moved in? Is this a triple net lease? Also, if you like the Tenant and they are a good Tenant, consider fixing one time for them and making clear this is a courtesy fix and going forward you are not responsible like the lease says. I would only do that though if I really like them and want to keep them on renewals, and assuming they pay on time every time.", "replies": [{"id": "ica7vnh", "text": "No issues at time tenant moved in. Appreciate your thorough response as it makes a lot of sense", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "icajvev", "text": "It sounds like this is a small time tenant and/or its their first commercial lease?  IMO, it should be explained to them that generally they are responsible for anything inside the building (even if it's a gross lease).   It's not like a residential apartment where the land lord will fix a broken garbage disposal unit.  \n\nI agree with what Starcommand is saying....  perhaps a ONE TIME courtesy fix is the best business decision to make, but it depends on the tenant/situation.....", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
