Garbage disposal

[Matt Smith]

If a garbage disposal stopped spinning but makes a bit of noise showing the electricity is on (likely something is blockage it but unsure), who is supposed to pay for the technician to repair it: the landlord or the tenant?

[Josh Nix]

If it's due to the tenants putting something down there than it's the tenants responsibility and the tech can tell you what was wrong with it after he services it.

If it's old and shot I would go ahead and take care of it, Sometime I just take care of things to show that I'm not some slumlord and care about my rentals. Sometimes doing small things like that can make a big difference.

I was told to never put garbage disposals in my rentals because of the maintenance required on them.
