Upfrnt streamlines property maintenance, removing hassle for landlords and tenants alike. This efficient process ensures prompt, cost-free repairs for tenants and well-maintained properties for landlords, reducing overall maintenance issues.

In Singapore, after signing the lease agreement and taking possession of the property, tenants are typically responsible for minor repairs below a specified cost, as outlined in the lease agreement. If the repair costs exceed this limit, the landlord is responsible for covering the additional expenses. While agents may assist in communication between tenants and landlords, the ultimate responsibility for property maintenance rests with the landlord, unless the damage is caused by the tenants themselves. Tenants must return the property in a similar condition to when they moved in, barring fair wear and tear.

Addressing Common Maintenance Challenges

Tenants often face challenges with maintenance, especially when landlords are reluctant to cover costs. Issues include delayed or ignored repair requests, subpar or temporary fixes, and the financial burden of essential maintenance. These problems lead to frustration, inconvenience, and insecurity about the property's condition. Disputes may also arise at lease end over security deposit deductions for repairs. Upfrnt tackles these challenges by managing general maintenance and replacing faulty  appliances.
