Under the PL's lessor's responsibility, co-ops are 99.9% responsible for windows. Consequently, the prescription of use and rights of windows remain with the lessor or corporation. The lessee may be called to maintain the window and, in many co-ops, balances and other hardware may be identified with the responsiblity of the lessee to maintain or replace due to wear-and-tear.
