Replacing 'rented' white goods

Replacing 'rented' white goods
Under a Dubai tenancy agreement, if a furnished apartment is supplied with white goods, is it the landlord or tenants responsibility to repair or replace those white goods if they break due to normal everyday use?
Strangely my opinion and that of my landlord seem to be different… Anyone know if there is a definitive answer?

What does your lease say?
You are permitted normal wear and tear, so if an item has broken due to normal use, it should be your landlord's responsibility to replace it.
My responses are taken to be fairly definitive..

As I already had all of my own appliances, I asked for the ones installed to be removed. This proved to be a good decision, as the appliances supplied were 'Chinese!' - Enough said!
After a year, tenants found that they were responsible for the appliances, and were being charged Neff/Ariston Prices, for cheap Chinese replacements! - Repaired in Sharjah!
If you have the 'Whitegoods' removed, always ensure that you obtain a letter of agreement from the landlord.
