Best Answer

1. Call the local Inspectional Services Department, or Board of Health.

2. Write a letter to the landlord, stating that you are withholding the rent until the repairs are made.

3. After you get a copy of the inspector's report, go to Housing Court (or District Court, if your town is not covered by a Housing Court), and file for an injunctive order that the landlord repair the appliances, and that the rent be abated.

It depends on your lease agreement.


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.

If a tenant's dishwasher breaks down after six months - is it the landlords responsibility to replace it?

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.

Can landlord in Cincinnati put you out if you pay rent by date on 3 day notice?

The three day notice is also called "Fix or Quit". Which means in 72 hours you need to fix the breach, or quit the lease. If you pay the rent and the landlord accepts it, your leasehold continues. If you attempt to pay the rent and the landlord refuses it, keep a record of the date, time, and place (you may even wish to bring a witness with you). Refusing the rent, shows the landlord did not follow through properly on the 3 day notice to fix or quit. You chose the option to fix the breach but the landlord rejected it. While this may not fix the eviction, it will look better for you in housing court.
