A reader writes in with question for any landlord-tenant law junkies out there in the Curbediverse: "I have been living in a small 1 Bedroom in Williamsburg for 4 and 1/2 years and pay market rent of $2000 per month and have never been late in paying and take great care of my apartment. My oven recently stopped working and when I asked my Landlord to fix or replace it he told me that his "Appliance Policy" was to let the tenant take care of any repairs or replacements of appliances. He justified this policy by saying he does not raise the rent each year and does this to keep his costs low?.I could not find any info online to see if this legal." The fridge was not new when the tenant moved in. So, does the tenant have any recourse here? [CurbedWire Inbox]
