Ice marker broken - previous tentant left fridge

[Brandon P.]

The new tenant wants an icemaker fixed. She is a brand new tenant and I dont want to look bad I actually gave a tenant a $250 credit to buy this used fridge. To replace the icemaker its $250. The appliance person said this fridge is a problematic model I Replaced an icemake for another differnt tenant and that was $200. I hate icemakers What would you do?

If it is customary to provide a refrigerator and your competitors do, weigh out the option of replacing the refrigerator or just getting the ice maker fixed. What brand and age? I would get the ice-maker fixed or replaced and then have her sign a release that makes any future repair on her. She can choose to repair or use trays. Add to your next lease. I say refrigerator, washer, dryer not warrantied on my leases...but it is not customary to provide any of those in my neighborhoods.
