Hello,
I was recently surprised to find, after my boiler stopped working, that the agency managing the flat I rent has sent me the bill and not the landlord. They state this comes under "utilities" which I am responsible to pay.
I looked around on google and it seems a very grey area in France - many articles say the tenant pays for small repairs, others claim the tenant has to pay nearly everything. Certainly coming from the UK I find this bill outrageous, because its always the landlords responsobility to pay for repairs and maintenance.
So I wondered what others opinons are on whether I am supposed to pay this or the landlord/agency is trying it on, perhaps hoping I don't understand enough to anything but pay it?
Thanks,
Paul
