if appliances are included in the cost of my rent, and supplied by landlord, can he/she force me to sign an addendum, stating i am responsible for repair or replacement of said appliances, should they break down, or fail to operate properly?

Appliance repair

The landlord must supply a stove and oven and keep it in working order.  If the landlord chooses to supply a refrigerator, he must then keep it in working order.  Follow this link for more information about appliances.

If the applainces are included in the rent in writing, the landlord must provide same in working order. If an appliance is included, you are already paying for the appliance when you pay rent. In Ma, a landlord is required to provide a stove and oven that is in good working condition (there are some exceptions mainly addressing subsidized housing).
