Get a new tenant.

Not so fast there Mr bob,tenants that say on for 12 years are hard to come by. If it came to a choice between kicking him out or caving to his request,I'd furnish a freezer and ask him to keep it indoors.

I also don't believe this to be your problem.

However, as capable as I'm sure you may be, do you think having someone who's labeled as a professional electrician on paper comes out, checks the outlet, says there are no issues with the wiring or the house would satisfy them?

I don't think it's an expense you should HAVE to incur, but I wonder if it would be the most reasonable and least confrontational way to put it to bed for you. Keep the tenants and not have to buy a freezer or a fridge.

How did the tenant conclude the house is killing his appliances? Could it have come from those 2 good-for nothings I Herd and Tha Said?

I agree that the problem is probably the undersized extension cord, but I would also want to know if mice have moved in and caused problems? Leaving it outside just screams to me as a place that mice would want to live.

Depends on the extension cord. I have a refrigerator in the garage on a heavy extension cord that I made from romex wire with 12 gauge plug ends.

Yes, a proper size extension cord can be used , but most people don’t have a 12 ga cord.

Go to home depot and buy x feet of romex and plug ends. Make a cord.

Romex is not approved to be exposed extension cord.

Ultrarunner - A lawyer should never ask a question for which he does not already know the answer.

Local electrical code will outline the circuit requirement for refrigerators and freezers. Use that as your BIBLE.
