Answer:

B) the cost of fixing a hole punched by the tenant.

Explanation:

A contract generally explains what the rights and duties of a landlord and a tenant are. However, most contracts agree on the same general principles. In general, the cost of maintenance of a house falls on the landlord. Problems such as a broken water heater or the resurfacing of a driveway and sidewalks are supposed to be paid by him. However, the tenant is responsible for the damage that he caused, such as that of punching a hole.
