I am renting a house with my family for 10 months.
There has been trouble with the dishwasher after 6 months.
The landlord has been sending people to fix it. It got fixed everytime he sends someone.
But lately he says that i have to buy a new one.
His reason:
1. I am misusing the dishwasher because i havent been cleaning out the scraps on the plates which resulted to a leakage.( from a professional dishwashing expert) my reply: i been washing it clean everytime i put dishes into dish washer. BUT Land lord found evidence of scraps of food and tea bag blocking the drain pipe.
2. i pay for new one for 300 , and he puts in 300 for a new 600 machine. But if i dont do this ( this option is not on contract but a better suggestion for the both of us). OR he go to insurance for 1000.
In this situation I thoughtt with my 10 years of renting never happened. What can i do?
Was i misusing? ANd wHAT if i am Mis Using? isnt it still the landlord's repsonsibility to repair? Even if it CAnnot be fixed?
