IMHO, I'd say if this is generally a good tenant whom pays her way, keeps the property tidy, then it's easier, less hassle to just install a gate and keep her happy. Remember good tenants are hard to come-by.0

It's not for security - as in protection from burglars.
It's for security - as in stopping the toddler running into the road.
Big difference.
Agreed 100%. Fitting a gate is not going to be a big or expensive job.
using that argument the tenant can pay then.
The LL does not have to fit a gate, if there was already a gate there then the LL could be help responsible for repairs, and if the child were to have an accident because of lack of repairs.0 -
That is something that every tenant and home owner should know. It's not something peculiar to renting out a house.
This is something the tenant should have known if they were concerned about their rights, responsibilities and entitlements
Quite, the point i was making is that the LL who should understand all the small nuances of running a business shouldnt really need advice from strangers on a forum via his friend before knowing wether he HAS to provide a gate or notNever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0
