Q & A with Prop West

Q) I supply a refrigerator with my apartment. My tenant has called and stated that it is not working and wants to replace the unit. On previous inspections, I noticed that my tenant has never taken care of the refrigerator. Am I know obligated to replace the unit?

A) If you supply a refrigerator, you must either fix the unit or have it replaced. If the refrigerator is self-defrosting, there really is no maintenance required for the appliance. The fact that the tenant did not clean the exterior or interior of this unit would not cause it to stop working.
