Who is responsible for what in the maintenance in the Apartment ?

We have moved into an Apartment on a one year lease and have the following observations on which I d like to take the expert opinion of CD s .

a. Is the unit to be repainted before a new occupant moves in ? I know they don't do it later when you continue living ?

b. If some of the ceilings / walls have painting issues , isn't that the landlord's responsibility ?

c. The air vents are dirt clogged ... The super mentioned we would have to get them done ourselves but I am not convinced since it shows that the vents have not been cleaned for quite some time ..

d. The windows do not open smoothly as the insides have paint and dirt -- isn't that the responsibility of the landlord as well ?

e. They told us they don't get the window glasses cleaned even even a new tenant moves in -- is that a norm ?

I have written to them twice and will follow it up again but also wish to take CDs opinion on this ..to understand who is responsible for what in an Apartment ..

Lastly --- I ve noticed that windows have only one layer of glass as opposed to two layers that we have had in the past .... Is it not mandatory to have 2 layers of glasses in windows during winter ?

Please share your opinion .
