(2) Under no circumstances shall servicing or replacement of such washing machine, dryer or dishwasher become a service required to be provided by the landlord pursuant to this Subchapter.

(3) Where there is in effect a prior practice of charging for installation of a tenant-owned washing machine, dryer or dishwasher, the landlord may continue the charge, which may also continue to be included in the maximum rent, if such was the prior practice.
