What happens if the fridge that came with the house doesn't work?

Question

Accepted Answer

If whiteware appliances like a fridge, stove, washing machine etc. come with a house, the landlord is responsible for fixing or replacing them if they stop working through normal use i.e. you haven’t damaged them. Likewise anything that could be dangerous or hazardous to you.
If the landlord doesn’t fix or replace them you can send them a 14-day notice to remedy the damage.
As far as other chattels go (e.g. furniture, curtains and carpet), if you leased the property in their current condition and they’re not affecting your health and wellbeing, then the landlord can choose whether or not to fix or replace them.
