Who is responsible for repairs?

Coloc Housing and the landlord are responsible for overseeing repairs. However, who covers the cost will depend on the circumstances.

If a repair is needed due to the fault of a specific tenant, that tenant will bear the cost individually, as outlined in the contract. If the issue cannot be linked to one person, all tenants may be held jointly responsible. In such cases, the costs will be split equally among all tenants in the agreement. These charges may be settled during the tenancy or at the end, depending on the situation.

To request a repair, tenants should submit a request through the help center.
