Maintenance, Utilities, and Other Services Clause Samples

The "Maintenance, Utilities, and Other Services" clause defines the responsibilities of the parties regarding the upkeep of the premises and the provision of essential services such as electricity, water, and waste removal. Typically, this clause specifies which party—landlord or tenant—is responsible for performing maintenance tasks, paying for utilities, and arranging for other necessary services. For example, it may require the tenant to handle routine cleaning and minor repairs, while the landlord remains responsible for structural maintenance and major systems. The core function of this clause is to clearly allocate duties and costs related to property maintenance and services, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring the property remains in good condition throughout the lease term.
Maintenance, Utilities, and Other Services a. The owner must maintain the contract unit and premises in accordance with the housing quality standards (HQS). b. The owner must provide all utilities needed to comply with the HQS. c. If the owner does not maintain the contract unit in accordance with the HQS, or fails to provide all utilities needed to comply with the HQS, the PHA may exercise any available remedies. PHA remedies for such breach include recovery of overpayments, suspension of housing assistance payments, abatement or other reduction of housing assistance payments, termination of housing assistance payments, and termination of the HAP contract. The PHA may not exercise such remedies against the owner because of an HQS breach for which the family is responsible, and that is not caused by the owner. d. The PHA shall not make any housing assistance payments if the contract unit does not meet the HQS, unless the owner corrects the defect within the period specified by the PHA and the PHA verifies the correction. If a defect is life threatening, the owner must correct the defect within no more than 24 hours. For other defects, the owner must correct the defect within the period specified by the PHA. e.
