Must A Landlord Fix The Clothes Washer
December 12th, 2008 By Peter G. Miller
When you rented the property it was offered to you with certain features. You, as a tenant, have an obligation to do routine maintenance — such as change light bulbs and clean lint filters — while landlords typically have an obligation to make capital repairs above a dollar amount specified in the lease.
If a working dryer was included with the property and it fails, then the landlord should have it fixed or replaced, consistent with the requirements of the lease and any local housing regulations. Moreover, this should be done with reasonable speed so you’re not inconvenienced.
