RCW 59.18.060(2): Duties of Landlord

(2) Maintain the structural components including, but not limited to, the roofs, floors, walls, chimneys, fireplaces, foundations, and all other structural components, in reasonably good repair so as to be usable;

An argument against being not certified is that the landlord may have a duty to replace it with a certified one?

Listmates. A client called and wanted to know if they are required to repair a wood burning fireplace in the rental home or can they just tell the tenant not to use it.  One argument it is an appliance an must be replaced, another would be it is not a "certified" unit and therefore can't be used due to air pollution.  Thoughts?
