I own a commercial property in the mid west since 2016 , tenant was already in place and up to now has completely honoured their rent obligations , I have not spent a red cent on the unit in the near six years I have owned the property

received an email a few days ago about an alleged leak which is letting in rainwater , Now if responsibility is exclusively mine here , I will not delay in attending to whatever repairs are required but from chatting to the management company , they seemed to think that in the case of twenty five year leases ( like this one ) , repairs are usually the responsibility of the tenant ? , I did not phone the management company about this by the way , I needed to ask them something else but they pointed out how many traders in the development neglect to keep roof gutters clean and other preventative measures , I have emailed my solicitor to check over the covenants but she is not in the office today

in general however , are most leases of this kind not " fully covered " insure and repair covenants on the part of the lessee ?
