Once a Maintenance Request is Submitted.

A MetCap staff member will follow up with the leaseholder on all maintenance requests within 2 business days. The MetCap staff member will then provide a 24 Hour Notice of Entry. An inspection will take place to determine if work can be completed immediately by MetCap staff or if a contractor is required to perform the repair. MetCap will do our best to ensure the repair is completed in a timely manner. The time required to complete each maintenance request depends on the scope and severity of the work required for the repair, the availability of any required replacement parts and the availability of contractors. Please ensure that access to the unit is available upon receiving a 24 Hour Notice of Entry to avoid unnecessary delays in repairs.

What Are Leaseholders’ Responsibilities for Maintenance and Repairs?

A tenant must keep their rental unit clean, up to the standard that most people would consider ordinary or normal cleanliness. The tenant is responsible for any repair or damages to the rental property caused by that tenant, the tenant's guest or another person who lives in the rental unit. This includes damage inside the tenant's unit, as well as any common area, such as a hallway, elevator, stairway and driveway or parking area. It does not matter whether the damage was done on intentionally or accidentally - the tenant is responsible. The tenant is not responsible to repair damage caused by normal "wear and tear". A landlord can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) if the tenant has not repaired damage caused by the tenant, the tenant’s guest or another person who lives in the rental unit. If the LTB agrees that the tenant should be held responsible for the damage, the LTB can order the tenant to pay the cost of repairing the damage. The LTB may also order the eviction of the tenant. A tenant should not withhold any part of the rent. A tenant may be evicted if they withhold the rent without getting approval from the LTB, even if the tenant feels the maintenance in the building is poor or that a necessary repair has not been completed.
