Apartments: Apartmentsby their definition are rental units where there is an owner of a complex who collects rent either on a monthlybasis or a longerperiod of time through a lease. The person who rents does not own the unit but rather only its contents. In addition, they are not responsible for exterior maintenance of the structure and the normal wear and tear of the interior. However, they are responsible for damage caused by the interior which is why a damage deposit is typically collected prior to the rental of the unit.
