To great delight, my washing machine is making loud clunky noises and leaving black oily spots all over clothes and towels. Time for a new one, as it's 10+ years old.
When we moved in, the landlord said the machine was 10 years old and would need to be replaced soon and said to let him know when that was. Well we've lived with it for a year, and now it's dead.
In our lease it states that the following are included in the rent on an inventory list. The washing machine is part of the list.
That would lead me to beleive the landlord should pay to fix or replace it correct?
For some reason, the landlord is now telling me I have to buy a new one, not him. What do I do with the old one? It's not mine to toss. And he should buy the new one anyway right?!
Do I have any right to take it off my monthly rent?
