Re: Landlord Responsibilities re: Main Gas Line

A main would, in my opinion, be considered structural.

Good Luck

Re: Landlord Responsibilities re: Main Gas Line

First, I would need to review the lease to see the tenant's responsibilities set forth therein.

Notwithstanding that, the main gas line can be considered a structural fixture which is the responsibility of the landlord. It can also be the responsibilty of the gas company, depending on where the problem lies.

Feel free to contact me should you have any further questions or require additional assistance.

Kind regards,

Re: Landlord Responsibilities re: Main Gas Line

I CONCUR WITH BOB AND PETER. UTILITY OBLIGATIONS ARE USUALLY ONLY TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES, NOT TO REPAIR OR MAINTAIN THE LINES, UNLESS DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE TENANT'S NEGLIGENCE. MAIN GAS LINES ARE USUALLY STRUCTURAL (LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITY) ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE MAY BE THAT OF THE SUPPLIER. HAVE YOU REPORTED THIS TO THE SUPPLIER?
