Can a GA Tenant withhold rent for a broken Fridge?

[Richard Davis III]

Hi BP!

First- I am not the landlord or tenant in this scenario. My mother called and asked my advice since I am a Landlord in WI.

The tenants Fridge died and he lost all his freezer/fridge food. The Landlord is saying it will take 10+ days to get a new fridge in there. Can the tenant withhold pro-rated rent for the days without a fridge? I'm unfamiliar with how that works in GA.

Thank you,
Rich
