    If all are working but the oven fan and element aren't my first point of inspection will be to the wiring at the fan/ element, they are likely to share a looped neutral conductor and failure here (should be obvious) will prevent the fan spinning up and the element heating. This should be fairly accessible with the rear cover removed. Safely isolate before anything & if in doubt get someone to check.
    Also the selector switch. Very common failures on ovens.
    If the OPs tenants are mistreating his property, surely that needs dealing with. If he suspects they mistreated the oven in some way to cause it to break (good luck with that) then the tenant must surely pay? The problem with installing the cheapest stuff is lack of long term reliability as you discovered.
    I agree with getting an electrician to wire it in, if the OP isn't familiar with electrics, there are many pitfalls even in the simplest job.

    Thank you all for your comments. The issue of the renter mistreating the item is not 100% true. I should have chose my words better. What I meant is that they don’t look after it and clean it. It’s not theirs so they are not bothered etc etc
