    Since the appliances are used over a period of time, normally i will informed the owner allow 1-2 week warranty. If spoiled the landlord will replace. This is not a standard practice but a make a point to spell out in the TA.

    In the TA, there should be an excess clause. Any repair/replacement under $100 will be at the expenses of the tenant. Anything over $100 should be for the account of landlord.

    Talk to your agent. He should have a solution for you.
