France - House Repair and Maintenance
If you rent a flat, all repairs will have to be paid by the owner, except if you want to change for example the kitchen.
You however, have to pay for the maintenance (central heating, lawn).
If you have a chimney, it must be cleaned by a specialist (chimney sweepers, central-heating maintenance) every year. Upon finishing their work, they will give you a certificate for your insurance company.
