Seeking Advice,Tenant claims refrigerator is broken after closing

[Amir P.]

New landlord here looking for advice...I just closed on my first long term rental multifamily and inherited the tenants (Connecticut). One tenant who is been there 10+ years claims the refrigerator is broken a day after closing. I am sending them a notice to vacate and my intention is to move into their unit. All tenants are month to month with no lease currently. What is the best way to approach this? Am I responsible to purchase a fridge for them? Since there is no lease, is it wise to say "no" or charge the tenants for a new fridge?
