    No, but that would be obvious when you viewed.

    To continue your analogy:

    Would you not be entitled to complain if - when you viewed - there was a bath, but when you moved in it had been replaced by a shower?

    Completley different

    Appliance vs Removable Furniture

    As in the bit in my reply where I said "That would be obvious when you viewed"?

    Pedants are fun! Can you reply in bold here? --->
  • Anyway, sorry OP. Just having a bit of a laugh.

    I think the LA should have explained either verbally or in the advert that the double bedroom would contain a single bed, especially in the light of the fact that when you viewed it contained a double. Whether you'll get anywhere complaining to TS or wherever I don't know. Might be worth a go, depends how important it is to you and how vexatious the whole process would be, sometimes it's just easier to take it on the chin, learn the lesson and press on. Just make sure you don't use that LA again!
  • carry on by all means, have been having a chuckle at this thread today myself!

    I've e-mail the letting agent again and i'm waiting for their reply. I'll see what they can do. hopefully they will meet me half way as I fell we are both at fault.

    If not then there are ways round it, probably give the parents our room when they come to stay and move the 2nd single.... this is when we find out it actually doesn't even fit in there and then all this pedanticism over what a doublebedroom constitutes will have been wasted! :rotfl:

    This is giving me ideas now.

    I picked up my Front Door keys from the letting agent but the front door is on the side of the house! :mad:

    And the back gate is at the side too!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    MSM, before you go to lots of trouble for your parents' visit, I would check with them whether they might quite like separate beds for a change! I don't know how old they are, but personally I get a much better night's sleep on the odd occasion when I don't have OH snoring beside me ;) .
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D
