Review: The landlord (SMI) is refusing to replace a faulty air condition unit. As per the lease agreement, I am to maintain the unit, which I have done so. According to the contractor ([redacted]) the unit no longer needs maintenance but needs to be replaced.

I have requested that the landlord to replace the unit, but they have refused to do so. Instead they (landlord) wants me to pay $9,300 to replace the unit as per the estimate bid (SMI's vendor [redacted]).Desired Settlement: The landlord to replace the unit and I will maintain it as per our original lease agreement.
