    You don't need a poll, it's the landlord's responsibility - end of.

    Poll : Can I please ask;

    If you are a tenant in a private ( not council) house is it normal for the tenant to pay and arrange to have a new boiler fitted if it is very old , broken and you have no heating or hot water?

    I don't understand why you would want to do a poll on this.

    How does it help you if a majority of random anonymous weirdos vote 'yes' or 'no' on the internet?

    If, for example, a landlord is refusing to replace a broken boiler, I don't think that showing them the result of an ad-hoc MSE poll will make the landlord change their mind.

    C) the tenant should get proper legal advice rather than going by a vote on an Internet forum from people who may be making it up as they go along.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    But you're not talking about some sort of moral dilemma, it's a question with a clear legal answer.

    It is normal for the landlord to replace BUT sadly not every landlord is aware of his/her responsibilities.

    Care to give us a bit more detail about your situation?

    Alternatively, what elsien said.

    Thanks , I have legal advice but it’s still really helpful and important to me if you could do this poll.

    I’ll explain at later if that’s ok :)

    Thanks so much

    If anyone said it's the tenant's responsibility it would just be to be contrary. As it is, 10/10 have said landlord. Everyone here has said landlord and we apparently are a mixture of landlords, tenants and anonymous internet weirdos.

    So you have your answer.

    Consider that it's now "later" so explain away.....

    Always the landlord, if a tenant is having to replace it I hope they take it and all the copper pipes/wiring in the house with them when they leave :)
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......
