Lexusgs430: Thank you. Imagine telling me they are willing to pay half of the cost for me and spread it across my rent for a period of one year. What nonsense! They initially said it was only installed 2years ago and if I have damaged it accidentally, it would be my responsibility. I told them all I do there is shower. Never fallen or dropped a heavy object/item on it, what do they mean by accidental damage? Meanwhile, I haven’t even lived in the property up to a year! |

gratefulme40: It's the landlords responsibility to ensure his/her property, is fit for purpose........ Having a warm shower, forms a key part of your enjoyment of that property (not unless you be oyinbo, wey dey use bowl and flannel)..... ![]() Unless they can proof accidental damage..... Which is probably impossible.......... Go on Google and check if that shower plate has had any negative reviews from cracking........ 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: I have seen on both citizens advice and gov.co.uk that Bath, basins and stuff are landlord’s responsibility to make sure they are in good working condition. They have probably seen my long unenglish name and think they can oppress me. How can I enjoy flannel and bowl after 12hours shift of crazy nhs job. MBA!

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by gratefulme40: 10:46pm On Aug 15, 2020 |
Lexusgs430: My current agreement expires end of next month. They asked if I would like to renew and I asked for open contract and also raised the issue of my cracked shower tray aswell as my oven that was bad right from when I moved in. They quickly changed the oven same day and now want me to pay for replacing shower tray. Bear in mind I reported this bad oven when I moved in and they ignored it. Now that renewal is almost due, they quickly changed it and are trying to coerce me to pay for their cracked shower tray.... a tray that had 1 crack when I moved in. |

gratefulme40: Did you also escalate crack, when you moved in?..…... ![]() Do you have any picture and video evidence of property, before you fully moved in (highlighting all issues) ?.......? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by gratefulme40: 1:16am On Aug 16, 2020 |
Lexusgs430: Quite frankly, I didn’t escalate it when I moved it. It was a very tiny little crack or slit ( you know like making a line with a razor blade). It didn’t seem like anything to me but I realised it was extending with time and the tray felt like it was gaping hence I reported it. Now, they say it wasn’t reported in the inventory. But any case, whether it was there before I moved in or it developed after I moved it, is it the tenants responsibility to fix such problems?? I mean broken door handles, hinges, batteries and stuff I can understand but things like this surely shouldn’t be the tenant’s responsibility na. 1 Like |

gratefulme40: The sad truth is that if the cracked tray wasn’t noted on the inventory then you will have to pay for it, as it will be regarded as damage. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by wallg123: 6:53am On Aug 16, 2020 |
gratefulme40: The letting agents have to inform the landlord to repair the broken shower tray. If you decide to moved out and not renew your lease, they will have to either repair or change the tray and make it presentable before they re-let out the apartment to a new tenant. On the other hand it’s about your comfort, so I suggest you repair it and send them a genuine invoice. They can either subtract the cost from your rents or spread it across. (My advice is that next time don’t try to manage a problem as we always do in Nigeria) Report it with evidence so as to cover your back. 1 Like |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by omopapa: 12:40pm On Aug 17, 2020 |
Go to court to obtain a sworn affidavit and use it to get another passport with the right age. Or if the one on nursing licence is the right one, follow initial advise protonz: |
