I wasn't even using the thing anyway since our fridge is an old cheapo fridge. 

They called a fridge repair company and it cost me over $400.My question is: Are we as landlords responsible for fridges? 

The difference between an illegal apartment and an office is I took out the stove in the kitchen, replaced the big fridge to a small fridge, and took out the bathtub and put in a closet.

They really don't care what color the bathroom is painted or if the fridge is white or stainless. 

What if the tenant was planning to take your stove or your fridge or a light fixture?

For example, if Merry Maids quotes you $35/hour for cleaning your fridge out and - if you can clean as good as Merry Maids - then he said you can charge $35/hour for that work if you do it yourself. 

shared with my housemate whose sort of a tenantjust have the portable fridge type, have mostly perrier and other soda waters in ther though at the moment =/wouldn't do a built in either but heck, its less space, capital, and maintenance than investing in a whole wine cellarrr

If you have any doubts or want to practice, I would pull the fridge and do the hidden side of that cabinet or maybe try on the back of a cabinet door (with a disposable brush sponge) for practice and to see the effect.

Fortunately I've taken into consideration the fact that all doors must be able to open haha.. there will be enough room:)The only thing I'm really moving is the fridge, which is moving to a spot that its actually been in before, so the hookups are there.Today I'll be sanding the inside of the cabinets, painting them, finishing sanding the window frame and hopefully finishing sanding all of the door frames.

I would have boxed in the fridge so the black side isn't showing.
