Legal analysis: If the house and its attached articles, equipment and facilities are damaged due to natural attributes or reasonable use, the lessee shall promptly notify the landlord to make repairs. The landlord shall carry out maintenance within seven days after receiving the notice from the tenant. If it is not repaired within the time limit, the tenant can repair it on his behalf, and the expenses shall be borne by the landlord. If the maintenance of the house affects the use of the lessee, the rent shall be reduced or the lease term shall be extended accordingly.

If the house and its ancillary articles, equipment and facilities are damaged or fail due to improper storage or unreasonable use by the lessee, the lessee shall be responsible for maintenance or bear the liability for compensation.

Legal basis: Article 23 of the Measures for the Administration of Urban House Leasing, the lessee shall cherish and rationally use the leased house and ancillary facilities, and shall not dismantle, refit, expand or add them without authorization. If it is really necessary to change, it must obtain the consent of the lessor and sign a written contract. If the house is damaged due to the fault of the lessee, the lessee shall be responsible for repair or compensation.
