Appliance Repair for Detroit Landlords
When a tenant’s fridge or stove quits, you need it fixed fast and documented.
Renters live in about half of Detroit’s homes, and most Detroit landlords own just one or two units. We work with small landlords and property managers across Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park.
How it works for landlords
Built for Owners Who Aren’t On Site
You approve the price
We schedule with your tenant and call you with the written price before any work starts.
Paperwork you can keep
Ask for an invoice showing the unit address, the model number and the part replaced, for your records and taxes.
Honest repair-or-replace
For each unit, you hear whether a repair is worth it, so you are not paying twice for the same appliance.
Vacant units and turnovers
Appliances in empty units are at risk of theft in Detroit. Schedule repairs and installs close to move-in when you can.
Your obligations
What Michigan Law Expects
Under MCL 554.139, Michigan landlords promise that a rental and its common areas are fit for their intended use and will be kept in reasonable repair, unless the damage was caused by the tenant. If an appliance came with the unit, that usually means keeping it working. A lease of at least one year can change some of these duties. This is general information, not legal advice. Read our full guide for landlords and tenants.
FAQ
Questions Detroit customers ask
Can you schedule directly with my tenant?
Yes. Tell us how to reach the tenant and how you want to approve the price, and we coordinate the visit.
Who pays when a tenant breaks an appliance?
Michigan’s repair duty does not cover damage caused by the tenant’s own misuse. How that is billed depends on your lease.
Do you work in Hamtramck and Highland Park?
Yes, both cities, plus every Detroit ZIP code.
