I wasn't really sure where to put this thread
I just need a bit of advice really
I live in a private rented property the kitchen was all fitted cooker, washer, dishwasher when we moved in, anyway the element on the oven stopped working the other day, I informed the landlord he came back to me said the oven was out of warranty and how much it was going to cost me to get a new element was £30 for the element or £130 for it to be fitted, I didn't question it and paid for a new element to be sent out, one of my family members is an electrician and has been for 40 years so he said he would fit it for me because it was such a simple job. It was fitted yesterday and oven turned on and the element sparked and blew all the electrics to the oven, my family member questioned the element from the start and said he didn't think it was the right one but considering the company who made the oven sent it out he fitted it. He has said the likely hood is the cooker now needs replacing.
Would I be within my rights to tell the landlord I am not replacing the oven with the exact same one because I am paying for it and as the one thats in they don't make anymore and the next one up is more than I can afford at the moment??
If there is a better place I can out this thread I will move it to there if anyone can direct me
