To think rental property oven should be sorted ASAP.

Landlord here. When my tenants oven went in one property we let them get on and buy it and we reimbursed. They wanted to do this as could be in charge of delivery dates and fitting.

Other property I ordered from AO..came the next day and got electrician in immediately. It really isn't difficult.

Lamona has bad reviews I recall.

Our fridge went kaput. We ordered a new one. That took 8 days because we wanted it fitted by them.

I'd absolutely expect it to be replaced within a week. Our landlord provided a shitty howdens lamona brand oven, broke down constantly, he would actually get us to arrange the parts if needed/obvious and arrange repair as it would be quicker (dh works in the trades so many pals) as in next day rather than a week. Eventually we bought a new oven as he agreed he had been sold a heap of shite, and he sent us the cash, we've just replaced the element twice in that time.

If you didn’t have a hob then it would be considered urgent but as the hob works 1-2 weeks sounds reasonable as similar to if it was yours. I personally cook 90% of my food on the hob anyway

@Mrsnothingthanks You definitely shouldn’t be paying for appliances!

@Redpeach 🤔 Perhaps it depends where you live. We replaced our built in microwave last week as the old one packed up. Went to a couple of shops and had to order one to be delivered to our house as they hardly had any in stock, just floor models. It took five days to arrive. Luckily we could install it ourselves.

Unless you’re willing to take whatever’s in stock, most things need to be ordered nowadays. A built-in oven also needs to fit the exact space so the LL can’t grab whatever’s in stock.

Personally, I’d rather wait for a decent replacement than take whatever they can get immediately. 🤷

I haven't used mine once since I got an air fryer - that was a about three years ago. I now use my oven to store things 😂

Wow. You can tell this is a pro LL forum. This is unacceptable and exactly why society hates LL. it is NOT the renters responsibility to pay for and replace faulty items that are part of rent. Moreover, it’s likely that doing any work like this is against the tenancy agreement.

Its not hard to order an oven and book a fitter in a couple if days, terrible landlord

Until recently we had an unreasonable landlord and I had a list of people like local environmental officer that I used to threaten him with. You could start off with them,he was well known within his religious community and one time when I mentioned I would be contacting their nearest religious person who was high up there was a knock on the door shortly afterwards and a plumber was there. Luckily the management have changed and the boiler got fixed within the day. Maybe do your own list of crutial people. Whichever person they are most worried about use them as leverage. I used to say It won't look good if the local media show up.

We rented for over 10 years but thanks for jumping to that assumption.
I had to wait weeks for a new boiler once.
You haven't been told when it will be done by but have you asked the direct question or has she just not got back to you from your original text?
Even as a, now, home owner , you can't just magic up home appliances next day!

I think you are being a bit unreasonable, you have plenty of alternative ways to cook available to you and you haven't had to wait very long at all yet. If it goes on for several more weeks then I think that would be unreasonable.

@EmeraldShamrock000 I suppose they could offer a countertop toaster oven but it can easily take a week-plus to have a new proper oven delivered. Shop don’t carry the stock now.

A week is too long to be without an oven, they should have offered you an alternative if there was a delay.

Most landlords won't supply them now because of insurance. It's probably left by a previous tenant.

I'd go out and buy one.

Whilst slightly annoying, you’ve a hob so it’s not like you’re unable to cook. I think a reasonable timeframe would be 2-3 weeks but then I’m not much of a complainer if I’m able to cope. I’d feel very differently if the hob was also broken.

I hope the oven is replaced soon. I don't think the wait has been unreasonable but would want an update of the firm fitting date within the next few days.

When our very old oven finally kicked the bucket, our landlord replaced it with a new one within 24 hours.
We are lucky to have an independent electrical appliance shop locally, who will deliver, install and remove the old one asap plus a landlord who realises being a landlord is a business and he has responsibilities towards his tenants.

My fridge packed up while I was renting (very old). I rang the agent and offered to source one myself for £xx and deduct from the rent. Agent got authorization and I had new fridge in 2 days. They also took the old one away.

As pp have said your LL may be waiting for a delivery date. Call them and offer to do as I did. Do you have an alternative for the meantime - microwave?

It’s really not esp if you use all 3
