| 183760 | 2003-10-16 08:19:00 | Hey YOUR worried about a 30 year old fridge??????????? The landlord should have replaced it 10 years ago on principal(if landlords know about such things) ie. the principal of keeping up the standards, like he hasen't put the rent up in that time!! Bye the way I have been a landlord and would have loved to have had a tenant with your attitude, |

| 183761 | 2003-10-16 09:36:00 | Well we had a tenant who's brother broke the toilet seat standing on it whilst cleaning the ceiling when they were moving out. She offered to pay for the seat but I figured that they had left the place so clean (the stove glistened and at least I didn't have to clean the ceiling!) that we'd pay. Depends a bit on the landlord - and how long they've owned the flat. If it was a recent purchase finances could be really tight (like rents don't cover out-goings). Many landlords can be "Asset Rich, Cash Poor" - money is in the land rather than there to feed the cat. Personally I prefer it when tenants own up to things. I get less than happy when I hear about things third hand. |

| 183762 | 2003-10-16 09:51:00 | the situation here is kinda hard coz the landlord has actually given the "landlord" rights to the real estate agent as they are wanting to sell the block of flats...and the fridge wasnt part of the flat when we looked but we requested one since i didnt have a fridge so they just took it out of one of the empty flats around ere.. so for me to contact landlord i would actually be contating the real estate agent... so u reckon i just be honest and say i stuffed it when trying to defrost it with a spoon? and hope the punishment is soft if any... and just had a look at tenancy agreement and it said replace any damaged or broken items with similar value..but this fridge is over 30 years old...so if i got a 2nd hand one that works and same size as old one and has a freezer in it...and told landlord b4 i did this that i buggered old one and gonna get a 2nd hand one of similarity to replace it..they would be fine wont they? |

| 183763 | 2003-10-16 10:08:00 | Agents tend to be less of a soft touch than owners (sometimes). Basically I'd suggest owning up. If you've only had it a short time and it frosted up it sounds like it was a bit faulty anyway - seals going. You might be lucky and get them to agree to either replacing it or dumping it (thus any new one is yours rather than theirs). As a landlord I'd much rather know in advance when tenants are going to replace or repair things themselves. Shall we mention a certain garage door that someone backed into recently? Perhaps not. Owning up before replacing it is the best option - saves disputes later. |

| 183765 | 2003-10-16 11:19:00 | ROTFLMAO :D :D Chris, go with; the thing leaked once the ice was loosened. It sounds like the most plausible explanation if the gas came from the underside of the ice box while you were smashing the cr*p out of the inside, it must be totally unrelated. Its probably just a manufacturing fault anyway. Cheers Murray P |

| 183766 | 2003-10-16 22:07:00 | The verdict.... drumroll.......................................... ..................... Thanks for the email I have spoken with the owner and he has advised that we should get the fridge taken away which I will organise, he is not looking to replace and he isn't wanting anything from you, but you will need to provide your own fridge from now on. i'm glad its all good :) i used abit of ur comments murrary and i also think i was abit too honest as i actually said i did make a few stratch marks from my actions, and even said that if a replacement is needed i'm willing to get it, unless some other agreement was reached...but am glad it turned out this way... So guys...thanks for all ur help/comments/advice....and the joke mr landlord.... :-) now life can go on without being guilty hehe |
