Who is Responsible for Repairs?

We are responsible for most of the repairs to your home.  There are some items for which you are responsible.  You are also responsible for repairs which would be our responsibility, but where the damage has been caused by carelessness, negligence, or an accident on your part.  You can get home insurance policies that cover the cost of such repairs.
