It just needed to be cleaned out.

If you damaged it then you are responsible. If you did not and this is normal wear and tear, then the landlord is responsible. My impression is that the landlord is taking advantage of you.

If the gas stove keeps going out, it is a little dangerous. Hope you don't smoke. If you aren't causing the problem, such as not paying the gas bill and you are paying for a relight of pilot, or the stove is amazingly dirty, you are getting screwed. Keep the receipts for these repairs, they will come in handy for the day you take this to small claims court. Any half way decent gas stove will not "go out"

As a landlord I can tell you this,some tenants will call about every thing squeaky floors etc. The practice of charging tenants for the first $50 of repairs eliminates these calls.If you are a good tenant I would take care of the problem.
What happens is you spend 90% of your time on 5% of your tenants. They will drive you crazy but it will cost em $50.

Unless you are causing the need for the repair, he should pay for it.

If it's his stove, he should be responsible for paying for it to be fixed.

If it is stipulated in the lease, then yes he can charge.
