Charging for appliance repairs

Svend W.
Posted

I'm curious how other landlords people approach charging tenants for damage/excessive wear & tear on appliances.

In this case, a spindle (i.e., the metal thing connecting the knob) on a gas stove got bent and stopped working, even with pliers.

I haven't seen this before. I suppose this particular burner probably gets used more than the others, but for the spindle to get bent like that seems like more than normal wear & tear to me. The other burners are working perfectly.

Looks like the repair is likely to cost me $350 total.

Would you charge all of that to the tenant? Split it? 

This is in Chicago. I'm using the Chicago RLTO lease.

Thanks in advance.
