babe | If your heater or stove breaks in your apartment is it the landlord responsiblity to fix it? |

Yes, regardless of what the lease says.
You cannot legally rent an apartment without heat and if the stove was there when you moved in, then that is part of the lease.
People need to stop saying that "depends on what the lease says" because just because it's in the lease DOES NOT automatically make it legal. |

I gotta clue
|
I'm a landlord. It doesn't say it in the rental agreement that I use, but I just assume that its up to me to fix the heater, stove, washer, dryer, whatever appliance is in the house. But that's just me - if the tenants are good, pay the rent on time, look after the place then I go the extra mile to encourage them to stay. On the other hand, I have tenants in one house who are very polite, nice people - but they have allowed 6 others to move in with them who are not good people. I recently gave them a notice to evict the "visitors", whereupon they sent me a letter of intent to leave the premises. Now, I've just had a technician tune the furnace, another contractor replaced the dryer last month, another contractor installed a new shower surround, tub and vanity. I installed new locks on the doors. Lots of extra stuff but they have crammed the house full of "stragglers" who smoke pot and leave liquor bottles around the yard. Will I fix the heater or the stove if it breaks tomorrow? Heck NO. |

Unless you broke it (which is what your deposit is for) then I would say yes they are responsible for sure. |

If the item is a fixture in the apartment, the landlord is absolutely responsible, in fact, if you attempt a repair and it goes wrong, you will have damaged your landlords property.
Also, any item that has the possibility of giving off noxious gases, should be inspected annually, to ensure the safety of residents.
Write to your landlord, officially reporting the faulty item and keep a record but please don't attempt to use the faulty heater. |

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR LEASE STATES. MOST LEASES STATES THAT THE LANDLORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS BUT IF IT DOESNT STATE IT ID CALL A LOCAL MAGISTATE OR COURT HOUSE AND ASK THEM BUT IF THE LEASE STATES THE TENENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT ARISE THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. IF YOU MOVED IN AND BROUGHT ANY APPLIANCES(IE: STOVE, REFRIDGERATOR ECT) THEN YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. |

If the appliances worked when you moved in, and you didn't break them, and if there is no specific clause in your lease that you are responsible for the repair of said appliances, then Yes the owner/landlord is responsible. |

Since heaters are almost always the property of the landlord yes, he is responsible for keeping it in working order. If your living in a place that the stove also belongs to the landlord, that to is his responsibility. If it's your stove, it's on you. |

You will need to check your lease, but I think in most cases yes they are responsible. |
