Russian term or phrase: текущий и капитальный ремонт квартиры
Dictionaries suggest many equivalents for текущий и капитальный ремонт, but I don't know what is appropriate when we talk about an apartment.

The context (loan agreement):

Заемщик обязуется

Принимать меры, необходимые для сохранности КВАРТИРЫ, включая текущий и капитальный ремонты.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much, Jack. Your suggestion seems the best. Perhaps, I'll add "routine" to "maintenance" as David suggested.

agree  Mark Cole: Yes, in this context as we are talking about just the flat. 'Major repairs' implies repairs to the building, which presumably would be beyond the control of the borrower.
