a stove and refrigerator. sometimes neither
Did a court adjudicate the tenant as incompetent? Then, if and when the landlord sues, that would provide the basis for a defense. You can't stop the landlord from trying to recover damages.
That all depends on the landlord, and the local laws. Sometimes some utilities are included in the rent, sometimes they are not. For example, some places have laws that require landlords to provide water.
It depends on what your lease says, but generally, the landlord is responsible for keeping all appliances that were supplied with the property in good working order. If you contact your landlord and the landlord refuses to fix the dishwasher, I recommend you contact your city hall to determine the department that issues renal licenses for your area. They might be able to point you in the right direction for your area.
It depends on your contract, but it is a very common courtesy that if you are renting form him he should provide. though if you are not home expect that the landlord will enter.
Your landlord is not required to provide air-conditioning, per se. But this is probably not the issue here: the issue is, is your landlord required to fix appliances that have been provided, including the air-conditioner? That answer it is: yes. If your air-conditioner was working when you moved into the apartment and it is not working now, then your landlord has the obligation to fix it. If he doesn't and you provide adequate notice, you can have it fixed and take the cost of repair off the rent. The procedure to do this is as follows: at least seven days before the next rent is due your landlord must receive the letter from you stating that the air-conditioner is broken and that you demand that it be fixed. It must also state that you reserve the right to have the air-conditioner fixed and to offset the rent by the amount of the repair. Keep in mind, however, that your landlord can still try to file an eviction against you. If this happens then you need to go to court and fight your case: you will win it likely.
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.
Eat, drink, and be merry!! Just kidding. the landlord has to provide you, in general, a safe, decent, and sanitary home/property to rent. They cannot lock you out of your unit for any reason without a court order. And any appliances they provide they must maintain in good working order.
If the stove/refrigerator were furnished and they no longer work, the landlord must replace them.
appliances that provide heat energy
Yes, the Ohio Revised Code section 5321.04 states under Landlord Obligations: (4) Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fixtures and appliances, and elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord;Necessary appliances are defined as a stove, refrigerator, furnace, and air conditioning unit.
It depends on your lease agreement.
If the landlord provided a key to the tenant, then the tenant must provide a key to the landlord. In fact, under most state laws the tenant may not change a lock without the landlord's permission and a duplicate key provided to the landlord.
I am sure if you were to look into it your Landlord would not be required to provide you with a security alarm in your apaprtment, you would have to install at your expense.
No, landlord insurance does not provide protection to the renter. Landlord insurance simply covers the landlord if an issue that is of their fault arises. All other issues are at the renter's responsibility. All renters should acquire renters insurance.
The purpose of obtaining Landlord Contents Insurance is to protect the landlord from damage or loss caused by tenants. This insurance may cover appliances, fixtures, and furnishings.
There are a number of companies that provide good landlord building insurance. Some of the better ones include 'Direct Line', 'More Than', 'Simple Landlord', and 'Nationwide'.
