Tony Carboni | Should my landlord pay for broken washing machine? |
I have rented a flat for 2 years and the washing machine was new and in the kitchen when I moved in, the landlord rented the flat with washing machine & tumbledryer in the new kitchen. It broke last week and the landlord says its out of warranty. He says he does not have to pay to fix it and that I am responsible for it. Can someone tell me in the UK does the landlord have to fix it? |

it will say in your lease. it also depends whether the flat was marketed as furnished or unfurnished. |

Do you have a rent and repairing lease? Your contract should tell you. It also depends on why the washing machine stopped working. If it was used incorrectly then your landlord possibly is in the right, but if it has been used correctly and not overloaded your landlord would be the one to repair/replace it. |

check your lease, if your have to carry out repairs and decorating it could be your problem but fingers crossed it's his. |

you should tell him you rented his property as it came with washing machine so hes in breach of his lease and you will stop paying rent if its not fixed or replaced
this might make him listen and sort it he does not want to have all this bother for a couple of hundred quid for a new one or less to have it fixed |

It will say in your tenancy agreement but i dont think that he will have to, the landlord is usually only responsible for maintenance on things like the boiler. |

If the tenancy was takin on with the washing machine included....the landlord must replace/repair it without delay otherwise he is breached the agreement |

It depends. Your tenancy agreement should tell you. If a working washing machine was included as part of the agreement then yes he does have to.
Some landlords are devious. My sister rented a house and the wiring was dangerous. The landlady gave her one days notice that the flat was to be rewired. All the walls were stripped of plaster and the decor and carpets were ruined. My sister had to pack everything and take her children to stay with my mother for 2 weeks and when she came back the place was like a bombsite and all her belonging were thick with dirt. Even then she was left without hot water for 6 weeks. The ***** of a landlady tried to tell my sister that she was responsible for redecorating and buying new carpets, and insisted that she paid all of the rent for the weeks she couldn't live there. All landlords should be made to pass an exam before they can rent a property. |

As a landlord let me inform you of your responsibilities, if you threw a cup at a mirror and broke it would you think it fair that you replaced it after all when you received it the mirror was in good condition. when you moved into the flat the washing machine was new, you have used it till it is not working, so it is your responsibility, if however, it was the central heating boiler then it is the landlords problem as it is a permanent fixture, the washing machine is not. Unless of course the machine constitutes part of the rent in which case the landlord is at fault otherwise pay up. |

yes it is the landlords responsibility to fix it as he put it in the flat so therefore it is his and his responsibility. out of warranty or not, he is obliged to provide you with working appliances that were there at the beginning of your rent agreement. |

If it's classed as fixtures and fittings then it's the landlords property and ultimately his responsibility to repair or replace.
If he has no intention of doing this then you should ask for a rent decrease as the flat is now less fit for purpose than it was when it was originally advertised. |

My Daughter has just moved out of a flat in Hampton. There was a washing machine in the flat which broke down. A Technician told her it could not be fixed. She bought a new one and phoned and told the Landlord who did not offer to pay her back. She sold the washing machine to pay for her move and now the Landlord wants to take money of her deposit to buy a new one. Can the landlord legally do this??? |

If the you rent the place as a furnished property and washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer, was already there when you moved in, then yes the landlord has to fix it or find a new one,, but if they was,nt already there then no. but also they cant say no to fixing it and then when you leave try and take it out of your deposit,
but if you ever unsure goto legal advice, |
