No, you're not unreasonable. Go to habitat restore in your area and get a $50-75 dollar special. Put it in. Tell them they are lucky you provide any appliances at all.

Is the light controlled by an exterior switch or by opening the door? Have you looked in the instructions for trouble shooting tips? If you don't have the booklet, go on line & look up this particular model.

Since it's only 2 years old could this part still be under warranty? When purchased by credit card some warranties automatically get extended.

You added electrical outlets for them? At your expense?

Wow.

For this one, I would tell them that many ovens do not have a bulb in them, and that going forward, you are just going to purchase ones that don't have a bulb. Provide a flashlight and say you are not going to spend $225 on something that MIGHT fix a non-problem

"Am I being unreasonable? "

Sounds like your tenants are nuts.

The lights in my ovens burned out years ago. Guess what...the ovens still work fine.

I would tell them "Same thing happened at my house! Can you believe that? I could never figure out a reasonable fix so I gave up and here is what I do, I use the over head lights, it's working for me"

Unless it's a high end rental or a high end stove, i would ( and you won't believe I PK will recommend this) avoid or delay the fix. Add an additional smoke detector in the kitchen,,, just in case!

I bet they use the oven once a week for pizza... looks about the same going in as it does coming out... LOL!!

Oh boy,,, this is taking alot of you time. I actually like my light in my oven, but if it burnt out and it was a big money hassle to fix I would just leave it alone.

Good grief!

These are tenants I do not like. I now tell everyone in writing that if I stove breaks it will be replaced with another self-cleaning stove but it may not be the same model with the same features (they may get a coil top to replace a smoothtop for instance). I also tell them I do not repair or maintain ice makers or water dispensers in refrigerators. So if they work now it's a bonus. If they fail they can replace the appliance or pay for the repair or live without the bonus.

When is their lease up for renewal? I'd definitely raise their rent to market value if it's no already there. One of my PITA tenants just was notified 90 days in advance that their renewal will include a $85 rent increase.

The property is still below market value and had they been anyone else I probably would have raised it $40 max but they will be paying more for the time they steal from me.

My other PITA tenants were constantly breaking their stove due to cooking massive amounts in large pots. Finally I said no more. I was not repairing it free of charge again. I told them they could pay for the repair or I'd remove it and they could buy their own. They claimed that's why they rented so when they break things I have to fix them. I promptly informed them that their $950 a month house should be renting for $1200 so if they agreed to a new rent amount of $1200 I'd repair the stove.

I love it, Lisa[FL]!

I find these types of complaints common. Its tiring. Technically the tenant is right, they rented a stove with a working interior light....but realistically life happens. They dont care and want you to make it right.

I dont buy LG appliances, because in canada, lg wont sell actual working parts to the retail stores, so every problem means I would have to call a service tech and pay their inflated prices.
