AIBU to want payment for fitted items left in my rental?

You should have made an agreement with the landlord before you did the work. If anyone owes you anything it's him.

I have no idea why you would spend your money to add value to someone else's house.

The new tenants don't owe you anything.

What would you get if you tried to re-sell on the market? Peanuts
Would it cost you to make good walls etc if you removed them - yes
Did you benefit from them when there for x period of time - yes

Try to look at it that way.

Focussing on the new tenants is incorrect.
You arent negotiating selling moveable with in a contract for a property sale.

Is this some kind of reverse?

If not, it's absolutely nothing to do with the new tenants. If this was done without the landlord's agreement, I would be expecting them to deduct the cost of putting it right from your deposit OP.

😂😂😂

or maybe an outside one

The landlord is more likely to tell OP to remove items and make good, unless she had permission to install a loo and fitted wardrobes. Unless there was an agreement to put these in then there is no obligation to pay for them on the landlord's part. OP can take her curtain poles as long as she fills in the holes and puts back the original curtain fittings (which I assume were there). Lesson learned, do not put permanent fixtures into rented property.

You are being completely unreasonable! If you want them take them and you’ll be liable to pay for the damage it will take removing them! Give your head a wobble if this is actually serious post!

What a ridiculous notion. Of course the new tenants aren't going to pay for those things. What was the agreement with the landlord when you put them in? It would either be you leave them when you leave or you pay to remove and make good. But as PP said, don't in general make expensive alterations to a property you don't own.

You can't expect anybody else to pay for them, and I'd imagine the hassle of removing them and restoring everything to exactly as it was before is not going to be worth the time and cost. If the landlord now has new renters, I would say your opportunity for doing this has also passed - it would be unfair to disrupt them now.

the that the cost to you of removing these things (presumably you’d also have to refit a toilet given there was one there when you moved in) is really not worth your while so you are not negotiating from a position of power here.

You want them to pay you for the loo? 🤣🤣

So rentals charge you for leaving stuff behind. And let's be honest it wouldnt be cheap for you to remove that and put the room back the way it was before.

Either take your stuff or dont. But you arent entitled to money for stuff you chose to abandon

But it wouldn’t have benefited the ll?

I asked my buyers if they wanted certain things, they moved from a small flat to a 3 bed house. They wanted the dining set, study table, filing cabinet, garden table (regretting that, it was a pretty mosaic table), wheelbarrow (another regret). Conversely, my vendor asked if I wanted the massive stone water troughs (no) but took the ruddy woodburner! Who does that? I obviously left mine, it’s part of the house. Apparently they will have broken the seals, whatever that means. Need to get round a man to fit a new one.

I can’t imagine adding a loo, how interesting!

This is a reverse, right @Maurit?

Are we gonna get billed for their work?

It wasnt your job to put a toilet in to a house that wasnt yours, that was up to the landlord!

Inside one of the fitted wardrobes. It's a lucky dip when you open the door as to whether you find a load of great outfits in there or somebody dropping the kids off at the pool.

At best, you can leave an unflushed monster 'protest jobby' in the retro-fitted loo; that's about your limit for reparations, though.

Should have had landlords permission to put anything in or change anything. And the landlord would be who would compensate you if that was agreed. Why would you have put an extra toilet in a rented house?

Its the landlord you should have got compensation from. Before you did the work. Nothing to do with the new tenants, not their property.

Wtf have I just read? It was your decision to put fitted wardrobes in.

You decided to put permanent items in a house that wasn't yours. Take them or leave them, it's nobody's job to give you money for your daft decisions.

This is the only answer needed. If you don't own the house, you don't do any kind of work that you can't take with you.

It's the way it goes. We moved just before the covid lockdown with a very small window to do everything and we're moving 360 miles away. We had to leave expensive curtain rails, lovely blackout curtains, and a 6 month old shed because we quite literally had no time and no one to help us.

If I was the landlord I would charge you for the removal. You installed a loo, did you apply for and secure building regulations!!!!!

Don't be ridiculous. The contract is between the tenant and landlord - they pay rent for the property as it is, they have no obligation to pay you for anything!

Of course the OP isn't going to return. His/Her work here is done.

It's not remotely the new tenants' fault, and sorry, but they don't owe you a penny.

Why on earth did you go to that level of expense for someone else's house?
