How to Request New Appliances from Your Landlord

Whether your refrigerator, range, or other essential appliance is malfunctioning or outdated, following these guidelines helps maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship.

1. Review Your Lease Agreement

Before making a request, check your lease for clauses about appliances. Determine:

Which appliances are included in the rental unit

Who is responsible for repairs or replacements

Any procedures outlined for maintenance requests

2. Document the Issue

Provide clear evidence to support your request. Include:

Photos of the appliance showing damage or wear

Description of the problem and when it started

Any steps you have taken to troubleshoot or maintain the appliance

3. Contact Your Landlord Professionally

Communicate your request in writing, such as via email, for a clear record. Include:

Description of the appliance issue

Evidence attached (photos, receipts for maintenance if applicable)

Request for repair or replacement

Suggested timeline for action

4. Offer Cooperation and Flexibility

Demonstrate willingness to accommodate inspections or scheduling repairs. For example:

Allow access to the unit for repair personnel

Provide availability for maintenance appointments

Keep communication polite and timely

5. Follow Up Appropriately

If the landlord does not respond within a reasonable timeframe:

Send a polite reminder email

Reference your lease agreement and previous communications

Document all interactions for your records
