Landlord or Tenant - Who is Responsible?

When a tenant moves into a rental property, the landlord or property manager must ensure that the premises are habitable and in a reasonable state of cleanliness and repair.

The tenant is responsible for keeping the property clean and tidy and, at the end of the tenancy, handing it back in a condition similar to how it was at the start of the agreement, taking into account normal use (fair wear and tear).
