In this kitchen there is a gas hob, a fridge and an oven. In my rental contract it says that I rent the gas hob and fridge.\n\n But...the oven is a built-in oven and part of the gas hob. The knobs for operating the gas hob are next to the knob for the oven.\n\n Now my oven is broken and I called the manager. He says: 'The oven is not in your lease, so you have to take care of that yourself.'\n\n But now I look at the Dutch government website and I see:\n 'Built-in kitchen appliances are generally considered to be immovable appurtenances to the home. These built-in appliances are then rented out with the home by the landlord. Repairs to a broken built-in refrigerator are then at the landlord's expense.'\n\n It is not only built-in, but also part of the gas hob.\n \nCan I now force the landlord to repair the oven? I have no idea how high these costs will be and what if a new oven has to be installed? Can I take it out when I leave?\n\n Thank you in advance!\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n This primarily concerns a defect in the rented property which the landlord must remedy at his own expense. If you install a new oven yourself, I advise you to have the landlord sign in advance that this new oven is yours and that you are entitled to have it removed when you leave the property.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thank you for your response. I have an appointment for next week. Unfortunately, I have to pay those costs immediately. Can I deduct those costs from my rent and send the landlord a copy of the invoice?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n No, offsetting against the rent is usually contractually prohibited.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n And not on the service costs either?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n No, usually not, but you can look up the general rental conditions yourself.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55017389162845,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-45600-ik-huur-een-appartement-via-particuliere-verhuur-in-deze-keuken-zit-een-gasplaat-een-koelkast-en-e","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
