1. See if the refrigerator can be repaired back to condition before damage was done. If so, do so and charge the tenant for the repair.

2. If refrigerator cannot be repaired back to previous condition, I would replace it and charge the tenant pro-rated as I described earlier. I would do this, because you cannot require him to live with it and then replace it with his SD money at the end of the lease once he has reported it. Different story if he had not reported it and you simply discovered it at the end of his tenancy.
