Who is Responsible for an Aging Faucet in a Rental Property

Anyone who has rented a house knows that during the renting process, it is important not to damage any items. So, who is responsible for the aging of the faucet in a rental property? Let’s take a look.

Who is responsible for the aging of the faucet in a rental property

The landlord is responsible for the aging of the faucet, as aging is considered a normal phenomenon and not human-caused damage. If the damage is caused by the tenant, then the tenant is responsible. Additionally, when both parties sign the rental agreement, it is essential to clearly specify who is responsible for repairs when items are damaged.

How to maintain the faucet

1. Contact skilled and qualified experts for installation and construction. During installation, make sure the faucet does not bump against hard objects and avoid leaving any cement, glue, etc., on the surface to prevent damage to the surface coating's luster. Also, ensure that any foreign objects are removed from the pipeline before installing the faucet.

2. When the water pressure exceeds 0.02 MPa (for example, 0.2 kgf/cm²), and after the use period or when the water flow decreases after the water heater is turned off, the outlet of the faucet can typically be gently loosened to remove impurities and restore water flow.

3. Do not twist the faucet too forcefully; instead, turn it gently. Even with regular faucets, avoid using excessive force to tighten screws. Never use the handle as a support.

4. The correct cleaning method is to rinse the faucet with running water and then wipe the surface with a soft cotton cloth to remove all water. This is important because once the water evaporates, it leaves watermarks shaped like drops on the faucet. Avoid rubbing the surface vigorously. Instead, use a damp sponge and soft leather to dry the faucet, keeping it shiny.
