LANDLORD PROBLEMS.
9 Answers
Can anyone help me with this conundrum.
My kitchen cabinet fell down, the screws were very small and when I rang my landlord he said he would send someone round to fix it, as the wall was bowed he said it wouldn't be classed as 'wear and tear' and he would bill me for it.
I told him I thought it was his place to fix things if they were broken and I didn't pull it down or anything.
Who is right and what can I do about it.
Thank you for your help.

But if it wasn't properly fixed then it would be his responsibility, did you keep any of the fixings to prove they were not up to the job?

its a structural defect. it has not been damaged by use or by mistreatment.
he is trying it on.
find something online an print it out relating to what a landlords responsibilities are.
i would also suggest to him you will bill him for a new tea set, new teapost, new plates and other crockery - that were all broken in the fall due to his inadequate fixings....werent they...?
