I am only the tenant, not the owner. I have to inform the owner about it before I do the check up. The stove is from owner. Similar case happened to my friend. However it was the air conditioner which got functioning problem. They fixed the problem but the owner refused to pay the charges. Later they seek help from solicitor and they were told they actually need to inform the owner before doing anything. The owner of the house is responsible for it, whether he agree to repair it or get a new one for replacement he should have mutually agreement.
