Jim,

Put one of those long lasting night lights in the refrigerator receptacle and tell your tenant to glance at the darkness behind the refrigerator and, if they is light, it is okay, but if it is dark, then the GFCI has likely tripped and they need to check their food, then reset the GFCI ... and report to you that it tripped so you can check it out.
