Issues with Tenant-supplied Appliances

[Denise Pauzano]

Tenant supplies their own appliance (refrigerator) after you (landlord) offered to provide prior to signing lease (they refuse, they will bring their own). Appliance breaks within first month then tenant asks you to replace it AND help them remove it from the premises. Your response?

Thanks everyone! Based on your comments and further discussion, we decided to move forward with supplying a new one but we will not be removing the appliance they brought in. Very helpful feedback. We will be sure to rethink this section in our leases moving forward. It’s an ever evolving process, learning from the random issues that come up.
