I'm not a lawyer but these are my thoughts:

Because the stove still works except for 2 burners it probably wouldn't be considered an emergency and they wouldn't be forced to fix it ASAP. That is for things like heat and plumbing. (This is assuming it's more than a 2 burner stove, probably 4 )

I'm not sure Covid protects you from him saying he doesn't want to resign the lease. The eviction protections are for evictions. Not renewing a lease isn't an eviction.

So it sounds like he either A) Wants you to renew a lease because he doesn't want month to month which would include a rent increase

or
B) They want to get someone else in there.

You're correct that it's a 4 burner stove, but someone from a repair company called it a fire hazard which is where my complaint is. The issue is with a fuse or something.

To get to your A/B points:
A. We're currently on a month-to-month which in the state of California he is not allowed to kick us off of unless we break a lease agreement at this point in time. He is also not allowed to increase the rent due to some rental protection laws that were put in place due to COVID.

B. Probably, our current rent is about $700 less than our neighbors in the same complex, so I'm sure they want us out.

Thank you for taking the time to lay out your thoughts and reply. This is great practice for talking about these points with others in a more serious situation, I appreciate it.
