The tenant performing some repairs in the residence: does the landlord bear the cost?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I am renting a house and I carry out some repairs in it, and these repairs are necessary, is the cost of these repairs deducted from the rent?

Answer:
No, no, my brother. Negotiate with the owner of the house. You can hire him to do it, or I can hire him and you pay me the expenses? You must agree with him. As for if you hired someone and did not consult the owner of the house, you have no claim, because you were doing it as a favor. This is different from a rented animal; if it needs feed and its owner did not bring it feed, or he is absent or away, he spends on it with the intention of getting it back, because this is an animal with a soul that can die, unlike a house, which is just a structure with nothing inside it. Look at it and find another house. Yes.
