Your basic duties include paying rent and utility bills timely, reporting any damages on the property to the landlord or property manager, and maintaining the cleanliness of the premises.

A landlord is only responsible for the structural and external repairs of the rental property, while the tenant is responsible for the internal repairs.

At BPC, we provide tenant insurance for our clients. Through this insurance, renters can protect their personal property against incidents like theft, fire, and vandalism.

If you wish to change the existing locks or add other security devices to make the property more secure, you must obtain the owner’s prior consent and pay all costs. You (the tenant) must provide the owner/agent with a copy of any new keys.
