who's to pay
a scenario for you people...
Jack owns a house and rents it out to Frank for a sort of long term use - maybe 3 months or so. and Frank doesn't pay rent to Jack, cause they're friends. obviously Frank pays for the water bill and electricity bill.... but the house isn't new... the house is very old and has leaks here and there, doors are worn out, fans are creaking, pipes are dripping...
so the question is, who is to foot the bill of those repairs? Jack? the owner of the house? or Frank? who is temporaryly using the house for free?
and if u have an answer, can this be applied to cars instead of a house?
like Jack owns a car and give Frank to use it. car repairs.... break pads, filter, air-con repairs.. who's to pay? Jack the owner or Frank who is using it?
really appreciate your feedback, i'm in a dilema.....

i REALLY need some advice here!!
Make the lodger pay. I'm surprised he isn't even paying rent, no doubt he is a friend. At least pay something but as he has not been, maintainance should be paid by him coz it's wear and tear caused by him as well.
but the "house" is already a shit hole when Frank started to use it, just that Jack didn't repair it before letting Frank use it...
so because Frank beh tahan the house, Frank did the "house" up.. and now wants Jack to pay for it instead....
perhaps neither should be held up to the full fees, coz both sides are involve and one hand cant clap/break things. so i guess since if they are frens, why not work it out and split it? rather than holding only one guy responsible
