The rented house leaks and is uninhabitable, but the tenant is responsible when checking out.

Lawyer: The landlord can compensate the lessee for the damage to the house caused by the lessee's destructive use.

The house rented by Ms. Guo, a citizen, has a pipe leakage phenomenon, which affects the residence. So, she wanted to check out early and ask for rent in advance, but the landlord asked Ms. Guo to take responsibility on the grounds that the house was in good quality when renting. Yesterday, Ms. Guo called Fa Online for help.

The rented house has a leaking pipe and is afraid to use the sewer.

A few years ago, Ms. Guo rented a house in the urban area through the Internet. The landlord is a couple. She has never moved this house and has a good relationship with the landlord. However, in the past two months, the situation has changed because of water leakage in the pipeline.

In September and June of 65438+ 10 this year, the kitchen pipe of the house rented by Ms. Guo leaked. At first, she didn't care too much. Later, she found that as long as water was poured upstairs, the kitchen pipes would leak out. What's more, the pool always faces upwards. The smell of leftovers and rotten vegetables makes it impossible to stay in the kitchen. She had to block the nozzle of the pool with two bricks and didn't dare to use the sewer at all. Usually, if she uses water by herself, she must pour the water into the bucket and then into the toilet.

Not only is the pipeline leaking, but the pipeline is often blocked, so Ms. Guo had to find a house owner to repair it. The landlord also came to the site for maintenance and sent a master to repair it, but it was only slightly improved, and there was still no way to completely repair it. Moreover, this is caused by the aging of the pipeline itself. Sometimes the water rushes upstairs and the ceiling gets wet. Life is inconvenient, especially the unpleasant smell emitted all day long, which annoys Ms. Guo.

The tenant wants to move out early, and the landlord holds her responsible.

65438+In late February, Ms. Guo contacted the landlord and said that she could not live any longer and asked to move out. However, the landlord did not give an accurate answer. Seeing that the landlord didn't reply, Ms. Guo was also very anxious, so she sent a text message to tell the landlord that she couldn't live because the house was leaking, and she planned to move out in June+10, 5438. I hope the landlord will cooperate with the handover procedures. But the landlord said that when the house was handed over to you, it was intact and you were responsible. ? Ms. Guo believes that if it is man-made, she must be responsible, but this belongs to the supporting problem of the community. How can she be responsible?

Ms. Guo said that when renting this house, the two parties signed a lease agreement, which roughly standardized the responsibilities and obligations of the landlord and the lessee. One of them is that if you check out early, Party B (the lessee) will compensate Party A (the landlord) _ _ _ _? , among them? _ yuan? The underlined part was crossed out by the landlord. According to Ms. Guo's understanding, this means that Party B does not have to compensate Party A. In addition, the rent has risen from 800 yuan to 900 yuan in recent years, and there is no other change in the agreement, but both parties take the receipt as evidence. In August this year, the landlord asked Ms. Guo to pay the rent for the next year in one lump sum because she had to accompany her children to school. Ms. Guo originally rented the landlord's house for a long time, so when she saw that the landlord had difficulties, she agreed and paid the rent until next August.

Ms. Guo said, how much should the landlord refund the 500 yuan deposit paid when renting the house, the remaining 8 months' rent in advance and the cable TV fee in advance? The landlord proposed it? Is the problem of the house the responsibility of the renter? Is there a legal basis? What should I do if there is a dispute?

■ Lawyer's statement:

12348 the lawyer on duty thinks that if the lessee and the landlord want to terminate the contract, they need to reach an agreement through consultation. The landlord has the obligation to maintain the house. If the house has quality problems, the landlord should fulfill the maintenance obligation. If the landlord fails to perform his obligations, the lessee may request to return the house and ask the landlord to return the corresponding deposit, remaining rent and other expenses. About the landlord? Is the problem of the house the responsibility of the renter? Lawyers believe that if the landlord can't prove that the housing quality problem is the abnormal use of the tenant, he can't ask the tenant to be responsible. On the contrary, if the landlord has evidence to prove that the house has been damaged by the tenant's destructive use, he can compensate the tenant. The lawyer advised the two sides to settle peacefully. If they can't solve it, they should go to a mediation agency for mediation. If mediation cannot be reached, there will be only litigation.
