Property inspection

Just leave the gate as it is. The LA might not notice, if they do they might not care, or they might assume it's one of those gates you don't need to screw into the wall. Removing the gate will leave holes in the wall which will probably look worse.

You can always make good the wall either at the end of your tenancy or when you no longer require the baby gate.

Seriously?

The end of the term is the end of a fixed term tenancy.
And no, the tenancy is not renamed either.

A lot of issues arise because people do not understand the basics and what words mean.

Right.

The end of the fixed term, is the end of the fixed term contract.
However, the LL is not going to make deductions before the tenant leaves.

So whilst the tenancy would become either a SPT (or CPT, or indeed be renewed under a new fixed term), the practicalities of this are that the LL would not seek to recover damages at this stage.

1: because there may be more damage before the tenant moves out
2: because the tenant may make good the damage before they move out

So yes the tenancy changes, a new tenancy is created - usually under the same conditions as the old tenancy, except the right to terminate.

Does this mean the LL can claim against the tenant?
Well in theory - yes.
But the tenant can make good the damage and it would be a waste of time.

'So yes'... but you claimed the contrary in your previous post (yes, you meant something else, as usual).

Why are people always so argumentative?

I corrected an incorrect claim and stated a fact. Is that so difficult to admit?

As I said, understanding the basics avoids many issues.

In practice the vast majority of people would consider their tenancy continuing.

Why are people always so argumentative? - I dont know.

I corrected an incorrect claim and stated a fact. Is that so difficult to admit? - Not at all. You were correct. The result though is still the same.

As I said, understanding the basics avoids many issues.

Happy to admit, you were correct.

I am framing that one; it may not be addressed to me but it's so rare it has to be preserved for posterity!

Oh my... This is pathological at that point.

- Sir, I didn't run that red light, it was green.

- No, it was red.

- OK, you are grammatically correct but I simplified.

- Sir, are you drunk or on drugs?

Stairgates that `extend` i.e designed to span unusual sized gaps , quite often are screw into the wall/door frame variety

I'd take it out of the wall and put an attractive plant in it's place to cover up the holes. That way you don't have to fill it back in.

Or I'd just leave it. The inspector probably won't notice, I don't think any inspectors have taken much notice when doing "inspections". They seem to just do a quick look-over.
