The owners of houses, particularly in Dhaka city, whose main source of income is house rent , often have to bear a strain of crisis for want of service, chiefly on electricity and water. They always have to face difficulties with tap water system , fixing electric wires and lines , leaks in pipelines of tenements that invariably need repair. But the problem is that there are no specific centres which can provide expert service agents like plumbers, electricians to do the necessary repair work from time to time.

In fact, on issues of repairing and replacement of unserviceable household appliances , tenants often strain relations with landlords. So, in order to solve the problems, the authorities concerned should establish centres where trained men for various services will be available.
