Oh yes, if there's an electrical problem in the house, it could short out your VA, or worse--hurt you.

If you live in rental property, and you're having electrical problems that could result in bodily harm or damage to personal property contact the manager or owner ASAP!

This falls under "Landlord Ten. Law". Bascially meaning that both you as a resident, and he/she as an owner have specific rights and obligations. General maint. and upkeep of the property is the responsibility of the owner.

Basically if your toilet breaks, leaking pipe, refrigerator stops working, electrical problems, ect. is the owners responsibility. That's one of the joys of renting as to owning a home. General Maint. is included in your rent, and it's pretty much a universal law under "Landlord Ten. Law" throughout the states.
