If the refrigerator fails, is the landlord responsible to pay for spoiled food?

The law does not set out specific provisions on this issue, generally if a problem occurs through no fault of the landlord and the landlord takes care of the problem promptly, the tenant has no claim against the landlord and should try to claim it on their insurance. However, if the tenant feels that the landlord is responsible they may file an application with the Landlord and Tenant Board for a decision.
