This is in compliance with Housing Policy 4.8, Repairs and Maintenance to the Unit. Housing Policy 4.8, Repairs and Maintenance to the Unit, states the following: 1. All Tenants are required to attend Home Maintenance Workshops. 2. The occupants or tenants shall be responsible to cover the cost of all repairs classified as minor. 3. The Housing and Infrastructure Department shall be responsible to cover the cost of all repairs classified as major with the exception of those repairs due to negligence and or willful damage by the tenant. All repairs will be documented and placed on the appropriate files. (Refer to section 4.2.3) I have attached a list of Minor repairs (the tenants responsibility) and a list of Major repairs (Housing Departments responsibility unless damage is due to negligence and or willful damage caused by the tenant). This is accordance with Policy 4.9, Classification of Repairs. Thank you! Trusting this to be sufficient, Tiffany Boyd Tenant Relations Officer Cowessess First Nation #73
