That way I am covered if there are charge disputes when there are security deposit deductions.I cant be the first person to deal with this situation.  

Has anyone disputed that? 

Hi @Orita Issartel,If you are ok with taking ownership of the refrigerator, then In order to (help) avoid an ownership dispute when these tenants move, I would insist that they provide you the original receipt, make sure the refrigerator warranty is registered in your name, and have the tenant sign a sales receipt to you for the refrigerator before you credit their rent or pay them.

I think you presented a fair resolution.

@Michael Salamonski I think that is a good idea if we cannot come to an early resolution, I think that would work well for both parties! 

I had a dispute with a landlord many years ago over a pool that turned green and a refrigerator that failed.

We didn't require a large security deposit, just had "move out charges" upon move out, which I did not completely agree with, because of the disputes, but overall most students or parents paid. 

(Link to look up your property) this is by no means the official document you can use to dispute the listing that would be done through running a flood zone determination (FZD) that your lender will always run or if you know a guy they can run it for you too.

I get more bookings through Airbnb for now; cannot complain about them for that reason however guests from HomeAway are “better quality” and I like the fact that HomeAway deposit actually goes into my account (so if something is broken, I can just withhold a reasonable amount) vs Airbnb where I have to go through a resolution center and be at a mercy of their customer service.

Also, I have friends who have had luck with disputing the collection amounts owned with equifax and credit reporting agencies.
