Polly, that is not a "line". That is likely a statement from the lease, at least from my LPA lease. It is only fair to point out both sides of the issue to the OP. IMO, without more input from the OP, which has not been supplied as yet, this issue cannot be adaquetely judged one way or another.

Whatever it is, your "as is" line is about as dumb as it gets.

PollyMo, doesn't your lease state that tenants rent the place "as is"? I suppose you offer to fix every last thing for every last tenant every last time they ask!

Polly has a point. landlords have to maintain their properties, fix broken pipes, faulty wiring, A/C, furnace, hot water tanks, sewer lines and septics, etc. apart from the lease reading "as is" that does not apply to neccessary repairs. You can't confuse neccessary repairs with unneccessary cosmetic things like different paint colors, new cabinets or added features like a dishwasher, C/A or new carpet if theses things did not exist before renting the place, "as is" applies to these.
