Who's responsible to pay £120 BT Installation? Tenant or Landlord?

the only problem with that is whilst there may be wiring in the property, there may not be anything from the property to the exchange and in this instance BT would still cahrge you the instal fee.
which is why new builds sometimes get stung with an unexpected bill, as the wiring is there but BT still charge for the full connection2010 challenges

My landlord happily paid the installation fee!!!0

I'm glad I just saw this thread, after being told that my landlord was looking to rent longterm, I move in and lo and behold after 6 months I have a letter to vacate as markets have improved slightly they want to sell house on, now I paid for a new line (it was a new build) from BT so should I perhaps ask my LL about soem sort of money back off this?0

you can but he doesn't have to oblige0

Doesnt seem that fair really, as you may be on a 12 month contract for the phone, but the LL may want you to leave after 6 months.
There should also be a clause stating not to sign up to any deals with utility providers that have a minimum term longer than the shortest fixed term you will be in the property for.0 -
Most contracts are transferable to a new property.As PoppyS says it is usually down to the installation engineer to price according to how much work is needed.
You could negotiate but ultimately you should pay.0 -

Not with BT, they have a set price list for installations, the only area the engineer can price is for additional internal wiring (e.g. extension sockets)that he has a price range he can price from.2010 challenges
