Normal Wear and Tear – Appliances

mapleleafmanagement • November 23, 2016

What is normal wear and tear for appliances?

Appliances:

Any appliances that have been  supplied with the unit  will age and eventually break down. This includes such items as air conditioners, furnaces, stoves and washers and dryers. The question of course is to determine if the appliance wore out on it’s own or if it was damaged by the tenant either by intent or by improper use. At Maple Leaf Management we keep in close contact with the owners and tenants so we can keep records and pictures of appliance condition and history.
