    Golden rule of leaving property in tenanted homes

    Don't if it's valuable / sentimental



    Better still, let it out unfurnished.

    How is it fair that our LL has provided us with a sofa, smelling of urine and refused to replace it?.

    I didn't say that was fair either; two wrongs don't make a right.

    Either store the old sofa or leave the replacement.

    At least near me it's very easy to get sofas on freecycle, when I was trying to get rid of one of ours I resorted to trawling the wanted ads looking for people I could offer it to as my offered ad was getting no responses. It was too good to just dump (and we didn't have the means to dump it without paying the council to take it away) and none of the charities could come for at least a month, so I was really hunting for someone as we didn't have the space to keep it!

    Replace the sofa at your cost. When you leave, pee on it.
