Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Hello,
Almost six weeks ago I rented out a small Single Family Residence to a young couple. They let me know that a light bulb went out in the refrigerator, and also the refrigerator needs a new water filter. They are requesting that both items be replaced. I told them my policy is not to replace light bulbs and filters once the property is occupied. The tenant referred to Section 13, Part A that says "Landlord will supply and maintain the Refrigerator and other systems. He also said that Part E of the Lease Addendum specifies that all appliances are brand new. He is saying it is very strange for a brand new appliance to need these items. The appliances are high end and they are two years old - I never represented the appliances as being brand new. I told the new tenants that the appliances were two years old.
Can any help me with this?? I have been a Property Manager for 20 years and have never replaced light bulbs and water filters during someone's tenancy.
Sincerely,
Michael in San Jose, CA

RE: Refrigerator Light Bulb and Water Filter
Does part E say the appliances are brand new?
If so you made a mistake replace the filter and light bulb.
