Hi, it doesn’t matter whether is it minor repair or major repair, as such repair per item basis ranges from $150 to $200 which tenant will have to bear.

The cost to be borne by you depends on the minor repair clause in the contract. In this case, it looks as if you are to bear the first $200 for any repair, the difference to be borne by the Landlord. The landlord should rationalize that the equipment is old and take the entire cost;it is a fitting that would last him for many years. You know the landlord's mindset now. Keep that in mind.

Greetings,
It's subjective to quantify whether an item is old/used and cannot be repaired.

Therefore an easier method will be did Landlord handover the item in working condition?
If so, you have to handover the same item back in working condition at the end of the lease whether is to repair or replace it Tenant have to pay the agreed amount mentioned in the minor repair clause.

Another question would be would you prefer to have it repaired or have a brand new replacement paying the same amount for both?
Of course, a new replacement is preferred with the additional warranty period to protect both Landlord and Tenant from further repair costs.
