Landlord vacuum cleaner has broken

My landlord vacuum cleaner started making a funny noise and then some smoke came out around the motor after about 5 minutes of intermittent use. It is quite an expensive vacuum cleaner so I would like advice whether I am responsible to replace or repair?

    If it came with the house and is on the inventory, the landlord is reponsible and should mend/replace it (unless you misused it :naughty: )

    Write to inform him/her.

    do you have long hair? check the roller on the front underneath.

    If you followed all provided instructions for the vac you should have no problems getting it sorted.
