Question for Landlords

[Matthew Noto]

I am currently renting. Our oven caught on fire due to our own negligence and is no longer functional. Is a tenant responsible for paying the entire cost of the new oven and installation or only the cost of what the old oven is worth?

[Jon Holdman]

So, are you expecting the landlord to replace the working oven that you destroyed with one just like it?  Or a new one?  If this was your house and you killed your oven would you buy a used one for the value of the old one or would you buy a new one?
