Enter Your Question Title Hereloose Toilet Seat Landlord's Responsibility ?

[CW1]

Hi,

I'm letting a property out & the agents have told me the toilet seat's loose & needs to be replaced. It was fitted when a new bathroom was installed a few years ago & seems to me it's not necessarily wear & tear as they say as the tenant's include 2 young kids & have been there almost a year.

Do the tenant's have no responsibility at all to take care of these things ?

I'm not being "tight" but it seems to be one thing after another at the moment & the agent's charges for getting contractors round are extortionate :( It's getting to the point where I'm seriously considering not signing the new tenancy agreement that's due in a week or so & letting it lapse to a Statutory Periodic Tenancy & I sell next year. But then will the agent's still charge me the £100 for renewal ?

Opinions welcome ... :)

it is quite common. especially if you have brought a new, fairly cheep one as i got one last year and it's starting to get loose. Check out this video and maybe try fixing it yourself. I personally would never rent a property out as you just don't know what type of tenets you'l get. Why don't you try property development like me, i'm really starting to enjoy it and there's some good money in it too.
