A few days ago a tenant reported reported that her refrigerator was performing poorly and didn't seem to be cooling as well as it once had. She complained of food spoiling quickly and frozen items partially thawing. The tenant reporting the problem lives in one unit of a 10 unit building. Our plan was to move a nicer & newer fridge from a neighboring vacant unit into this tenant's unit and then replace the poor performing fridge as time permits prior to the vacant unit becoming occupied.

However, the tenant has now refused to accept the refrigerator from the vacant unit because the previous tenant (of the vacant unit) recently died in a car accident, and the receiving tenant has sited a STRONG fear of ghosts as her reason for refusing our solution to her refrigerator complaint. She is suggesting that a new refrigerator purchased for her unit is the only acceptable solution, and that it be done immediately.

So I'm curious what the community thinks about this? What would you do next?
