Absolutely you can sue the landlord/owner of the storage unit. He or she has a legal duty to keep the unit in reasonably good repair, unless your rental agreement states otherwise. If the value of the damaged property is $7,500 or less, you can sue in small claims court. If the value exceeds $7,500, see a real estate attorney. More information about small claims court can be found at the Related Questions and Related Linksbelow.

Is a landlord required to replace appliances in California?

As I understand it, the landlord is required to maintain it essentially in the condition it was in when you moved in. So if there were working appliances when you rented it, they are responsible for the maintenance. If you are asking is the landlord required to provide new stuff when you move in, no.
