This message from Anna Ly of Sun Realty confirms the landlord’s intent to install a washer and dryer in fulfillment of the amenities promised in the original property listing (see Exhibit T12). The agent wrote:
“The owner asked me to get washer and dryer installed for you. I am going over to take measurements this AM. Will be there in half hour.”
This communication establishes that the owner, through his authorized agent, accepted responsibility to provide the appliances as part of the tenancy agreement. The later refusal to deliver the units and the demand that tenants purchase them themselves constitutes a breach of California Civil Code §§3300–3301 regarding performance and good faith in contract execution.
The message further supports a valid small claims cause of action for reimbursement of the washer and dryer expense, showing that the installation was originally promised by the landlord and documented in writing through his licensed representative.
