You need to have a working stove in the unit that is as good or better installed within a reasonable time; however, it is not an emergency within any stretch of the imagination.

I would say that having a replacement within 1 to 3 days is reasonable...but something like a week is too long.

The tenant's request for reimbursement is unreasonable IF you remedy the situation relatively quickly.

Of course, if you have other vacancies in the area the quick fix is to move a stove from one of those and put the replacement in the vacancy. It may be a bit more work, but at least the immediate situation is resolved.

Worse case, get a dual hot plate from Walmart for $25.00 and have her use that for a few days.

Is that something renters insurance would cover? Oven will be replaced on Monday.

It's your oven, why would the tenant pay for it.
