Who pays for this ‘damage?’

| 1 | Just wondering who people think should pay for this? Mid tenancy tenant pulls dish drawer out too far so piping at the back comes loose and it will no longer close. Thanks magicroundbout - 2021-05-25 17:01:00 |
| 2 | If it’s not too old the manufacturer. I would think it should be designed to not do that. Unless there’s signs of malicious damage. macman26 - 2021-05-25 17:09:00 |
| 3 | It seems some tenants don't give a s***. Why did they pull the draw out so far??? Poor old muggin's is expected to pay. I'm so sorry that has happened. We are giving up renting to tenants, it's just one problem after another. I guess this tells you just how fed up we are :-). Of course, not all are bad, but how does one know prior to renting, even if they do have glowing refs. My very respectable friend let her house out for 6 months whilst she was o/seas. She came back to a meth den, despite impeccable references. Best of luck. westward1 - 2021-05-25 17:48:00 |
| 4 | How the F do you pull the drawer out to far??I've had dishdrawers for over 20yrs and never had a problem.Change your tnt's. They broke it, they pay. blueviking - 2021-05-25 18:09:00 |
| 5 | Maybe the dishdrawer was incorrectly fitted or broken, otherwise it shouldn't be possible to pull it out too far. Fix it and stop moaning. Edited by sparkychap at 6:32 pm, Tue 25 May sparkychap - 2021-05-25 18:26:00 |

| 7 | Get it fixed. Send the bill to the tenant. Tenant pays for damage they have caused. pcle - 2021-05-25 21:45:00 |

What a bizarre statement, try and tell the difference between a question and a moan. I have no idea how it was broken, I wasn’t there, maybe they leant on it and lifted it off the fittings?? Teenage boys can brake most things with minimal effort they’re just lucky they were touching the dishwasher IMHO FWIW I’m neither the landlord nor the tenant. Thanks to those who answered without criticising! Edited by magicroundbout at 10:13 pm, Tue 25 May magicroundbout - 2021-05-25 22:11:00 |

| 10 | A good tenant would pay up and fix any damage they caused and not bother the owner. pcle - 2021-05-26 07:58:00 |

| 12 | Is a dishwasher a necessity? If it's not do you even have to fix it? It's possibly signed into the agreement but if it's not can it just be left broken? bryalea - 2021-05-26 13:40:00 |

| 14 | magicroundbout wrote: when the tradie comes to fix it, you couldask what caused the damage. If it wasn't installed properly-then the bill is yours, if it was tenant's negligence-they pay. But it's be good to have tradie's opinion in writing to prevent the dispute with the tenant. We had a problem with the dishwasher, the tradie said he saw the signs of tampering with it. So, they are able to tell sometimes how the damage occured. evoalg - 2021-06-02 15:48:00 |
| 15 | It really depends on the cause of damage. If the tenant was malicious, they should pay to repair it, if it was accidental, that is what insurance is for, and I'd be getting it repaired under insurance. If it was faulty, (and not that old), the manufacturer should take care of it. Edited by phoenix22 at 4:19 pm, Wed 2 Jun phoenix22 - 2021-06-02 16:18:00 |

I am actually not sure they do. I mean, a good tenant, if they broke something, would pay. but whether or not they would actually have to is another story phoenix22 - 2021-06-03 08:05:00 |

Bryalea no a dishwasher isn't a necessity, yes it does need to be fixed, or replaced, no it can not be left broken regardless of if it is in the tenancy agreement or not, shelleigh - 2021-06-03 14:31:00 |
| 19 | All dishwashers should have hoses that are long enough to pull out. If not how do they get connected? carter19 - 2021-06-03 19:44:00 |
