Tenant Replaced Air Conditioner Himself

LVT Number: 9469

Tenant complained of reduced services, claiming that his air conditioner needed repair. Landlord argued that tenant had replaced the air conditioner himself instead of letting landlord repair or replace it. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed. Tenant loses. Tenant had replaced the air conditioner only one day after filing his complaint about it, so landlord didn't have a chance to make any repairs. Also, tenant had ignored landlord's offer of a new unit.
