Can agent ask me to pay for a hob that is chipped?

Surely, apart from most of the cost of the new hob, they are entitled to the cost of fitting?
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Excellent. Don't complain, or they may realise they have forgotten this.alandaniel132 said:

On what grounds? You haven't told us that you're denying having caused the damage.alandaniel132 said:
The agent had deducted the money and return the remaining deposit to me. I would like to disputes via TDS.GDB2222 said:

On what grounds? No harm in trying I suppose but you will have to think of a reason.alandaniel132 said:

I wish the law would change to ensure the landlord used the money to actually buy what had been damaged. This must be something that happens soon .0

Yes, the rings are not sold separately.alandaniel132 said:
I had been staying for 2 years 2 months and also the the chip is one of the four ring, can agent claim for the whole hob cost?davidmcn said:

It looks to be a fair deduction for damage that you have caused, why would you want to dispute it? You caused the damage, it’s fair that you pay for it.1 -
I don't think there's any cost for raising a TDS dispute, so go ahead.
There have been several posters here who have all said that they can't see that you have any grounds for a successful outcome, but there's little downside for you.
It's quite useful posting here, as you get a reality check from people who aren't involved. You are free to reject our advice, and I can well understand that it's not the advice that you wanted to hear.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
No, sorry, it's not wear and tear. You've only damaged one of the rings, which kind of proves that point.alandaniel132 said:
I don't call it as damaged. It is wear and tear issueJohn_ said:

You should read the TDS guidelines, to see whether there's any downside risk, and they could award a higher cost against you. You can hardly rely on other people to do that for you.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?3 -
So why charge so much then? Doesn't make sense unless the landlord asked for less rent from new tenant - which should be proved.alandaniel132 said:
The reason is the hob is still working very well.lookstraightahead said:I wish the law would change to ensure the landlord used the money to actually buy what had been damaged. This must be something that happens soon .0 -
How would the law ensure that the Landlord purchased 80% of a new hob?lookstraightahead said:I wish the law would change to ensure the landlord used the money to actually buy what had been damaged. This must be something that happens soon .5
