Is a TV aerail socket the Landlords or Tennants problem...?

As the title says really - should a Landlord be sorting out the duff TV aerial/socket for a newly rented house that was signed for today?

There is nothing mentioned in the contracts either way. And lets face it, who takesa TV with them to check the Inventry...?

I would imagine the landlord, but are you sure the socket connection is faulty?

strictly speaking if it wasnt in the contract then its not covered by the agreement.
however i would expect any LL to fix such an item, if fitted.

there is no legal requirement to supply an aerial socket.

Well, my Sister in Law connected up her brand new tv to it and it didnt work. Aeraisl either have a broken wire in them or dont work, not much to go wrong really lol.

The actual aerial is in the loft.
