Question
Shalom.
When there is a tenant in the building, who has to pay for the security cameras and for the increase in the building maintenance (va’ad bayit) payments?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
The landlord must pay for the security cameras. An increase in the va’ad bayit payments depends on the reason for the increase: if the ongoing expenses have grown, it falls on the tenant; if it is because they want to save money for some future purpose, it may fall on the landlord, and each case must be considered on its own merits.
