Tenant responsibility for Personal Property (incl w/out warranty)
Hi, I am a prospective tenant reviewing a lease which states:
"The following items of personal property are included in the Premises without warranty and landlord will not maintain, repair or replace them..."
I understand landlords include this language to protect themselves from appliance misuse and maintenance. I am wondering if I -- as the tenant -- am required to replace the items of personal property if they break/malfunction, or if I could simply leave the broken items in the property at the end of the lease. I am unsure what the language in the lease stipulates.
The items in question are standard appliances which are not mandatory provisions in my state (i.e. washer). Thank you.
