A new California bill aims to mandate working stoves and refrigerators for residential rentals, addressing concerns from renters often left to provide their own. Current laws do not require landlords to include these essential appliances, which leads to confusion and unexpected expenses. Stories from renters, such as Adrian Granada and Dan Acosta, illustrate the challenges of moving into properties without these necessities. Assemblymember Tina McKinnor emphasizes that stoves and refrigerators are not luxuries but essential for modern living. If passed, the law will take effect on January 1, 2026.
A working stove and a working refrigerator are not a luxury; they are a necessary part of modern life.
Currently, California law does not mandate that rental units include those appliances, leading to confusion and frustration among some renters.
We have to pay for this? We have to pay for the installation?
The person giving you the tour would be like, 'Oh, you're responsible for getting your fridge, removing it when you leave.'
