cowtipper Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Guys i have been renting for a while and the property i am renting includes the white goods in the kitchen. Unfortunately the Washer has gone all pete tong it was getting on a bit and it smells like the motor has burnt out therefore its broken due to general wear and tear I have spoken to the Agent and they have told me that they will not repair it due to it being for "tenant’s beneficial use" has anyoen ever heard of this as when i tookon the property i got the price down to £650 withouth the appliances of £695 with appliances. so i just assumed that they would be covered.

Last week the washer in our rental broke down, letting agent was informed and they had it repaired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, there are so many properties on the market crying out for tenants, you probably find a better deal in no time if you look around a bit anyway, and if you hand in your notice because of this, you probably find a rapid change of attitude happening.
