Who pays between rent home and landlord?

I am a foreigner regularly present in Italy, I signed a contract of lease. The owner wants to pay the cost of replacement of mailboxes, I have to pay me?

Rome - September 3, 2010 - The breakdown of costs is an issue that often arises between landlord and tenant, the law generally provides that the tenant must bear all costs of routine maintenance, the owner of those repairs, except of course any shareholders between the two included in the lease.

The problem is very often because it creates confusion between ordinary and extraordinary maintenance costs.

The owner must provide to maintain the rented house in a good state, and then repair it if necessary, so as to ensure the peaceful enjoyment of the tenant. So when it comes to replacing worn out pipes for electric or plant, or the replacement of the lift is clear that the owner must do so.

The tenant must provide back to all the routine maintenance costs due to deterioration caused by the use of things such as replacement of taps, or repair of the lights in the building.

In general, if not much is specified by referring to the civil code or the old law that provides for fair rent "is paid by the tenant (ie the tenant ed), unless otherwise agreed, the costs of the service cleaning, operation and routine maintenance of the lift, the water supply, electricity, heating and air conditioning, blacks to clean wells and latrines and the provision of other common services. The costs of the concierge service are borne by the tenant to the extent of 90 per cent, unless the parties have agreed to a lesser extent. "

Now if you talk in your own replacement and installation of new mailboxes in this case should be the owner to provide for the payment while it is up to you instead of payment of any adjustment of the old mailboxes. Whenever it comes to repairs due to wear and tear while the tenant has to pay in cases its replacement should come from the owner.
