A gas range is quite easy, There is a shut off valve where the flex line that connects to the supply valve. Simply turn off the gas at the valve and disconnect the flex. Pull out the old range and install the new range. You might want to install a new flex line since the newer lines are usually stainless steel. Be sure and measure what length you will need. The new flex should bolt right up. You might need to use the fitting off the old range to connect the flex line often times it does not come on the new range. There should be an electric plug that need to be plugged in for the igniter since most new appliances have that type ignition. It is quite easy. If done by a contractor about $100.00 plus parts. Good luck

I agree with Ranger4402 make the management company prove their case. First check the law in your state regarding how long the landlord has to return you security deposit. In PA a landlord must mail you a written accounting of charges against the security deposit and a check for the balance remaining. If he is late, by even one day, the landlord looses his right to claim damages, and is liable for DOUBLE the security deposit. I would lay low until 3 to 5 days after the landlord is required to give you an accounting of the security deposit and the balance. Then I'd go and file in small claims for the maximum I could get. If they defend at court, make sure they provide evidence. Don't let them just assert condition. Make them show repair costs, what happened to the old stuff. Isn't stove maintenance the landlord's responsibility. Some one seems to have a problem with me telling you how to proceed once you get a judgment and they don't pay. Perhaps you could ask what to do, after you have the judgment.

If the previous range was gas, then about 2 hours labor at 65 an hour. Most places require an anti-tip device, and a gas shutoff in proximity to the appliance, make sure to ask about it.

Do it yourself. You will need the plug off of your old range as the new one won't have one. The new one will have directions on how to connect the wires. It is easy. Have faith in yourself. There are only 3 wires. Just make sure the connections are tight.

Do it yourself and feel you've accomplished something. All appliances come with assembly and installation instructions even a well adjusted child can understand. Good Luck...

In Ontario, ranges are now plugged into a socket.
