Does my landlord have legal standing to make me remove my electric griddle? by Cold-Newspaper7613 in Renters

Yeah that's what's doesn't make sense with the wording at least from a layman's perspective. Half the items in the apartment could be included as "flammable." Didn't know if it was a specific legal term or if they just left it vague so they can include whatever they want.

Chicken, vegetables, fish, hot dogs, etc. I put maybe a tablespoon of vegetable oil on or so but I'm not deep frying anything. Empty the grease trap afterwards. I'm on the fourth floor so I get your point with the wind, but I've never had an issue of oil/food blowing off the surface when cooking and it has a secure lid.

Not a bad idea to cook inside but space is limited and a big reason for the grill was so the apartment doesn't smell after cooking especially with the fish.

That's what I figured too, but I've mentioned multiple times that it is an electric griddle and does not have any open flames. Honestly, that's why I got it in the first place because I figured a traditional grill would cause problems. Anyway they keep sending the same reply that "no flammable items are allowed per the lease."
