• In Japan the major upkeep of a rented property is
  the landlords responsibility, while the minor
  maintenance and repair work is undertaken by the
  tenant. The maintenance from a landlords
  perspective involves the upkeep of property in a
  usable manner, while small acts like repair work
  on sliding doors or changing bulbs are the
  tenants responsibility.

SHARING RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN LANDLORD AND
TENANT

• When theres a need for repair in the rented
  apartment, the tenant is required to inform the
  landlord and request for repair, in the absence
  of which, the tenant can then initiate the repair
  work and bill the landlord for all expenses
• The landlord may or may not honor the claim,
  depending on the requirement for repair and the
  billed amount
• Albeit, it is the landlords responsibility to
  carry out all repair work on their rented
  properties, it is subject to this being mentioned
  in the lease agreement. The landlord can avoid
  this if the lease mentions that all repair work
  are the tenants responsibility. Hence the
  structuring and implementation of the lease is
  very important

• The onus of carrying out structural repairs like
  water leakage, appliance repairs, not including
  any appliances that have been left behind by
  previous tenants, and annual trimming of trees,
  if the property has a garden, lies with the
  landlord
• If the tenant fails to inform the landlord about
  the repairs in time, the additional charges that
  accrue in lieu of any damage thereof, is to be
  shared by the tenant. For instance, repair for
  A/c water leak is the landlords responsibility,
  but if the tenant informs the landlord after the
  leakage has damaged the wall, the additional
  charges would have to be borne by the tenant
