Do all the Indiana landlords here provide appliances ?

Such as stove & fridge ?

In.gov states landlord is to provide appliances as I read it .

This is new to me I did not understand LL is responsible for appliances .

Also just stating appliances is vague does this mean just stove, fridge or does this mean dishwasher ,washer, dryer and

There are many sites with different answers that is why I checked in.gov . I’m just surprised that we have misunderstood this law for so long . What do Indiana LLs on here do ?

As a strategy to obtain the best tenants, I provide "more and better" amenities than my competition. Lets suppose I am a landlord on the same block as a vacancy of yours. We both advertise online and have a sing on the property, "For Rent".

My building had a nice lawn in front, cared for by me weekly gardening service. I also had a small 10'x10' paver area on my lawn with a table and chairs for my tenants to entertain outside.

I offer a New Refrigerator and Stove, as pictured in my on-line ad and I hand our flyers at the door with information and pictures. I also provide a window air conditioner and a ceiling fan. I have a hood over the stove that vents outside. Instead of one basic color I have the walls one color, the doors frames and molding one color. Another color for the ceilings. And the walls a third color.

So I spent and extra $2000 having some extras in my unit so I can ask another $100 per month over your rent. I will catch more applicants and rent my unit 2 weeks before you can close the deal.

So offer RTO appliances.

I think you were reading a tenant-based interpretation of the law. Those are often misleading or just plain wrong. Here is what I found:

w w w .ncsl.org/research/environment-and-natural-resources/indiana-landlord-and-tenant-duties.aspx#:~:text=A%20landlord%20shall%20do%20the,applicable%20to%20the%20rental%20premises.

According IN law, a Landlord must:

(4) Provide and maintain the following items in a rental premises in good and safe working condition, **if provided on the premises at the time the rental agreement is entered into:**

(A) Electrical systems.

(B) Plumbing systems sufficient to accommodate a reasonable supply of hot and cold running water at all times.

(C) Sanitary systems.

(D) Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. A heating system must be sufficient to adequately supply heat at all times.

(E) Elevators, if provided.

(F) Appliances supplied as an inducement to the rental agreement.

`Good thread. There is a saying that you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Very good question Cindi.

Great answer erveryone.

The original question was not whether you SHOULD supply appliances but whether you HAD to...

I gave my new tenant a 4x8 sheet of 1/4 inch plywood and 4 nails to attach for the front door. 4 x 8 sheet and 2 nails for back door.

too many nails? maybe sterno instead of burner?
