Should I fix the gas stove I broke?
Tenant called and said she had a gas leak. She's not always completely accurate but I was in the area and went by to check. Sure enough, there is a slight gas odor in the kitchen. Have the stuff with me, check the unions, they're fine, no leaks. Check stove burners, everything working as it should. Gas odor is dissipating. I'm pretty certain she has bumped a burner slightly on and inadvertently created this situation. She wants me to look under the top of the stove. I raise it up, higher than it was intended to go and break the feed to the front burner... it looks like it just snapped off but I can't really tell because I'm afraid if I keep lifting, I'll break the other ones...
Is this a DIY or should I call the appliance guy who will then charge me half the price of the stove just to show up? Naturally, this is my first and only Section 8 tenant and the Section 8 inspection is tomorrow.

Section 8 passed the unit, saying the tenant promised him I would fix it... that I'm a nice lady and I take care of things :-). Appliance dude coming out on Monday. There is no leak, just a broken stove.
