The division of maintenance and cleaning tasks between residents and management can vary depending on the specific rules and policies set by the management or governing body of the property. However, there are some general guidelines that are commonly followed:
1. Maintenance tasks:
- Residents are typically responsible for minor day-to-day maintenance tasks within their own living areas. This can include taking care of routine cleaning, such as vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning up after themselves.
- The management is usually responsible for major repairs or maintenance work that requires professional assistance. This can include HVAC system repairs, plumbing issues, electrical problems, etc.
- Common areas, such as stairwells, hallways, and elevators, are usually the responsibility of the management to maintain and keep clean.
2. Cleaning tasks:
- Residents are generally responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of their own living spaces, such as their apartments or condominiums.
- The management typically takes care of cleaning and maintaining common areas. They may hire cleaning staff or use professional cleaning services for these tasks.
- Some properties may have designated cleaning schedules or guidelines for residents to follow when it comes to common areas, like shared laundry rooms or gyms.
It is important for residents to familiarize themselves with the specific rules and guidelines outlined in their lease agreement or property rules and regulations to understand their responsibilities regarding maintenance and cleaning.
