If you rent, do you expect a bathroom cabinet?

Very dull I know!

When I rented, I bought my own. Just wondered if there is a norm, and if so, what it is?

Every time we've moved into an unfurnished flat we've had to buy our own; one mirrored wall-mounted one and one under the sink one.

No, I've never had one. I'm used to it that I don't have one in my know owned house!

I have lived in 3 rented properties in last 6 years and all of them have had a bathroom cabinet.

No.

I’ve lived in 3 private rentels all had a bathroom cabinet. Housing association no cabinet (and not expected).

Ugh pressed post too soon. Should have also said all unfurnished.

Every rental property I've lived in has had a bathroom cabinet. And both properties I've owned had a bathroom cabinet.

It doesn't strike me as something you expect to take with you, but rather something that comes as part of the fixtures and fittings.

And both properties I've owned had a bathroom cabinet - I meant to say they had one when I moved in, left by the previous owners.

We lived in a house for a decade. It never had a bathroom cabinet in either the bathroom or the ensuite. So there hasnt been a cabinet in the house for the past 5 years its been rented.

Nope, I rent and don't have one. I bought one of those wicker basket things to keep my toiletries in.

I can't say it would affect my decision on whether or not to rent a place, but at least the last 3 properties have had them (I start to forget after that)

HerRoyalNotness · 20/10/2018 18:07

Our house that we rent out doesn’t have one, it just has a stupid pedestal sink. It’s always been like that. The last property manager redid the bathroom and I’m sure I requested he put a cabinet style in, but he ignored me.

When we lived in it I had a wall mounted cabinet in there.

I just keep toiletries in a pine box from Ikea.

SoyDora · 20/10/2018 18:14

I’ve rented a lot of houses and can’t even remember which did/didn’t have bathroom cabinets, so it’s not something I’d look for or expect in a house.

No. But it’s nice when there is one. Or at least some shelves! Lack of storage space in a bathroom is annoying.
