My tenant has invoiced me for a new shower curtain as the current one now has mould. He has been in the property for a year. A brand new shower curtain was provided. He has been the only person to have used it. Am I obliged to replace this? I would really appreciate some helpful advice. He had previously asked me to replace a bathroom light bulb... out of foolhardy generosity I did. Now I think he's taking liberties of my good nature. Mrs Dee.

Tell them, politely, not to be stupid and to cancel the invoice.
There are people who would give them notice, but let's assume they're stupid.
But lets only assume that once.When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

Many thanks for the responses so far. I have replied saying that it is a sanitary consumable product which had been used only by him I wasn't not obliged to replace the shower curtain because mould such as that will ONLY take hold if he does not regularly clean and ventilate the bathroom and allows the moisture to remain continuously in the bathroom.
A brand new one was provided at the start of the tenancy and replacement of such items are his responsibility and that washing the shower curtains in a mild solution of bleach is a good way of cleaning and maintaining my shower curtains.
I tried to be polite. Thanks again.

by BerlingogirlMy tenant (T) did a runner owing rent - bet that's never happened to anyone else!
T got a property with a housing association (HA)
I wrote to the tenant at the address requesting payment within 14 days (2 letters, different PO's with certs) and one letter was returned.

by jpucng62Surely it is really about supply and demand - if there was a surplus of properties tenants could ask for references, deposits etc but at present LLs are the ones who can make those demands because of the lack of supply.

Reply to Adapting property for disabilityby BerlingogirlI'm sure the local authority would be delighted to put a tenant in there for you, but they might not be the kind of tenant you'd like. I suggest you don't go via the local authority route and just advertise it as you would normally.
Also your LHA rate might not cover the rent for a very...-

by skier3Slightly unusual situation here .. I've had the same tenant for about 6 years now, with no real issues. Within the last two years she's put on so much weight that she is now saying she cannot get into the bath and is asking for it to be replaced with a large shower instead. She's pretty much made...

Reply to Adapting property for disabilityby banner257I am presently buying a very nice apartment with a large walk-in shower, but it's on the first floor with its own access stairs. Reading the above I wondered if local authorities would be looking out for this type of accommodation for disabled persons. It would only need a stairlift fitted and I would...
