My take on it is that legally the landlord is responsible, no question about it..

and of course, ultimately, if the LL and T could not come to an amicable agreement then the matter would have to be settled by a court. I would not fancy the LLs chances of being successful in dropping the bill on the T.

As has already been posted by a couple of us, the LL can set the cost of any insurance excess, or the repair costs, down on their tax return thereby reducing their outlay.

I hope that the OP and her T will have a result that both of them feel is fair.

My opinions are well documented. Let's hear some other regarding the above points.

There ya go, MSE landlords.... Your tenant can do whatever they like to the property, even with malice, and it's up to YOU to pay the price. Discuss.

Oh, and 1314? Let me know if you ever start landlording. If I can pinch just one boiler a week from your house, I'll be quids in. Fool.

Well, you have provided a clear demonstration of your ignorance.

The LL would be liable for the faulty appliance once they had been informed.
It may not be moral, but that is the law.

Once again, you pervert the argument with your "can do whatever they want" comment. And then you follow it with "pinch a boiler" showing how limited your ability to make any sort of rational counter argument is.

You need to get an education. :cool:

And given that the OP withdrew from this thread some time ago because matters have apparently escalated beyond what was originally posted, perhaps now is a time to draw a line underneath this thread completely.
