The Leave and License agreement of the tenant has an Annexure that shows Major Vs Minor works and explains what falls under each category.
To find this: Please go to any Signed Agreement and go to Annexure 1. You will see Minor and Major works table.
Usually Major works are taken care by the owner and minor by the tenant. But there are exceptions, such as:
1. Any damage as a result of age related wear & tear is charged to the property owner.
2. Any major damage caused by tenant's negligence is charged to the tenant (eg. Seepage issues not reported on time and caused further damage to walls/woodwork)
3. Any minor issue is taken care by owner before the tenant move in and within 7 days of the tenant's move in.
