I'm a landlord who also rents- EVERYTHING is broken and filthy- what should I pay?

by SplashLandlord

My post was intended as a bit of humour, while also pointing out that not everybody is DIY competent.

Not from the inside of an inward opening door they're not. Hence the call for help....

Unauthorized door replacement

by bms9nmh

Hello,
I heard through the agency that manages my property that the tenant had become locked in the bathroom at around 05:30 in the morning and called the fire service, who proceeded to knock down the front door to the flat, and let him out of the bathroom. The tenant did not call the agencies...

Or if totally incompetent, then just pay a local handyman £50 to do it.

Not physically being in a room where a bath is running (i.e. not switching off the tap when you leave a room) is not an accident or act of God. It is in the same category of negligence and liability as deliberately lighting a bonfire in the living room and then saying it is an accident when the place...

I agree. I am always surprised when tenants want to wait until the property has been redecorated / recarpeted etc before agreeing to sign because I always do what I say I am going to do - but then you see stories like this and realise that some LLs just don't.

It's a really difficult situation...

Hi All,

Hope your all well!

I have recently started to rent a place, before moving in/signing of papers the Estate Agent showed it to us virtually (2nd September) because it was not ready yet for potential tenants to view (the Building was not complete), We instantly liked...

It wouldn't surprise me if the LL hadn't been asked when the LA said he'd agreed to it.

Not unusual at all: http://www.three.co.uk/hub/what-to-d...-down-the-loo/

To me it sounds like the tenant thought he was doing a good deed by arranging for the temporary door and making the property secure.

He's just made a mistake in how he should have...
