I dunno what state you're in, but here in NC


the landlord is supposed to fix or replace appliances that don't work. If you write to them and request repairs, document & keep records. If they don't make repairs after repeated requests, you have the right to cancel the lease and move out. You can NOT withhold rent while continuing to live in the property. And you can NOT make repairs yourself & then deduct the cost from the rent. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, usually most decent landlords & management companies will replace the fridge once you send them a registered letter or get them to sign it & copy like someone does below. The law is written with slumlords in mind for the most part.

Sorry for the actual serious answer, I know it's not Lounge worthy.
