Since the landlord is incurring maintenance charges for your premises too, he can ask for the same. You have to decide based on the prevailing cordial atmosphere whether to rub with him and create an unpleasant living atmosphere.

Try for amicable solution.
If not possible show all documents to local lawyer and discuss.
