Stove replacement help

[Bryce Hammill]

I was looking for some guidance on a stove replacement.  This is in our first out of state duplex. We replaced a stove in one unit as it quit working. (Inspection photos from purchase shows the stove was 5 years old.) This was in December of 22. Now the PM company is saying the tenants stove turns off half way during use. I feel like replacing the stove after 6 months is a little unreasonable. What do you think would be the best way to resolve this problem? Send a repairman to check it out? Just feel like tenant is taking advantage of us recently.

A 5 year old stove should not just stop working. I wouldn't have replaced it. I would have sent a repair company out to look at it first. Now a 6 month old stove? Something isn't adding up here.

1. Why isn't the PM taking care of this issue? They should send out a repair tech to see what the problem is. Only if the repair cost is more than a new stove, I would have it repaired.

2. After you force the PM to do their job and get this issue resolved. Find a new PM! One that knows how to run a management company.

Good Luck.
