Daily tip · A demo card, not a judgment

If the home leaks, the landlord repairs first.

01Stop

The landlord must keep the home fit to live in. Leaks and structural damage are not the tenant’s problem by default.

02Act
  1. Photograph the leak, date it, and message the landlord.
  2. Demand repair in writing. Don’t rebuild the structure yourself.
  3. For urgent damage, keep the quote, then decide who pays.
03Find

If they still won’t repair, try mediation or the consumer desk. Call 110 if it is unsafe.
