I hope someone here has encountered something like this and can point me in the right direction...
I currently rent a 1 bedroom apartment (it's basically like a small cottage, it's a standalone building), and the unit came with a God awful 2 burner barbeque (it's useless to cook on, I swear the heat controls barely work, it's all or nothing, even after proper maintenance). I've seen similar models in Walmart for under $100, so you know what kind of quality it is.
I got a new bbq for my birthday, but the Landlord is telling me it's my responsibility to store the bbq that was pre-existing as it "belongs to the property", thus reducing my available storage.
Is it my responsibility to store this old barbeque, or his? If it is, that's fine, but this landlord has a history of doing things or making demands that aren't legal under the Residential Tenancies Act, and makes unreasonable demands left right and center, so I want to be sure before I do anything.
Edit: clarity
Tl;dr; Is it my responsibility to store a barbeque that came with the apartment (replaced with one from my birthday), thus reducing my available storage, or is it the landlords responsibility?
Lol it was a gift, I didn't just up and decide to buy a bbq, had some family that knew how terrible the existing one was and bought one.
It's a reasonable question, I don't mind if it's my responsibility, but I figured I'd ask. This is a landlord that violates the Residential Tenancies Act at every opportunity, so I refuse to act on his demands anymore (yes, there's never a discussion, only demands) until I've looked into them.
To clarify, I understand that the bbq is belongs to the house and I have no intention of getting rid of it. Also, the Landlord lives next door.
I just wasn't sure who was responsible to store it
Yeah planning on doing something like this
Yeah, this doesn't have central storage, just a lower level (external access only) that's basically a garage but we've made it into a workshop.
Without any kind of central storage, I wasn't sure who's responsibility it is.

Yeah it's normally just kept outdoors on the deck, no cover or anything.
He's demanding I put it inside the lower level (which is a workshop/garage... Basically garage door access only, poured cement pad with a furnace in it for the upstairs and lower level, single room... We've made it our workshop/den/storage, at his suggestion when we were moving in).
Think I'll just buy a cheap cover so he can't complain and try and find a spot on the small deck to put it.
