A landlord’s question about whether he should fix a tenant’s broken shower put him in a sticky situation with other real estate investors.
In a post this week on the Landlords Australia group, the landlord asked whether it was his or the tenant’s responsibility to replace a shower head that had broken while the tenant was using it.
The post received dozens of responses that unanimously chastised the owner for trying to get out of purchasing the item.
“Please tell me you’re not serious.” Tenants are not responsible for replacing or repairing fixed items,” one commenter said.
Other commenters asked if the owner was joking, noting that the shower head looked cheap and worn.
Some have pointed out that it is greedy landlords like him who spoil the good reputation of others.
