According to Art. 776 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, current repairs are carried out by the tenant (tenant) at his expense, unless otherwise established by the contract or law.

In turn, capital repairs are carried out by the lessor at his expense, unless otherwise stipulated by the contract or law.

At the same time, the legislation does not contain a definition of capital and current repairs, nor does it indicate their differences. In practice, when concluding a property rental agreement, it is necessary to determine what exactly belongs to capital and current repairs and determine responsibility for non-fulfillment of assumed duties.
