[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh? LL here. None of that sounds terrible. You aren’t LL material, sorry. You have to learn to chill [/quote]

You have to learn to read your lease.

I’m renting in the DMV and my lease clearly states that the tenants are responsible for pests that result from their belongings. It’s a clause I signed when I moved in. If your landlord doesn’t include that clause, they are novices.[/quote]

I think the point is that we’re all trying to figure out why OP *threw away appliances* instead of cleaning them? Yes it sounds like withholding part of the security deposit makes sense but I’m unclear how an oven gets ruined due to crumbs? [/quote]

OP here- two appliances were broken (cracked) and I withheld the security deposit to replace them. I already explained what happened with the spill in the refrigerator. The oven is built in, not freestanding, so doors can’t be removed without removing the unit. The maid service tried to clean it and told me this. So I’m replacing it.[/quote]

Classic. You weren't getting any sympathy, so now the story has changed. The appliances were "broken," but you just failed to mention that in the OP & focused on the fact that they were dirty?

Not to mention your story about not being able to clean the oven still doesn't make any sense.  It doesn't make any sense that the doors to the ovens can't be cleaned without taking them off, and, even if you needed to do that, "built in" ovens slide in and out.  [/quote]
