To want potential landlord to provide a better t.v?

[Marbsmumma]

My first AIBU and I’m swaying between yes and no.

So I’m going to put down and sign a contract on an apartment in Spain. The price has been lowered by €100 per month already. It brings it down to an average price for its area, condition etc, But the tv is bugging me. It’s tiny and ancient. Yes, I could go out and purchase a new one but AIBU to think I should throw this into pre contract negotiations? And ask for a better tv? Just to be clear the tv is below what other similar furnished apartments have in this area.

What do you think? Am I a petty cow?

Have you actually watched any Spanish TV?

I'd probably leave it and buy myself a new, better one (if I could afford it) and then just take it with me when I leave.

Ha! No I try to avoid it.

But that’s why i’ll need a better tv to use smart services etc otherwise i’d Leave it switch off!

Am I a petty cow?

Yes, buy the TV yourself if you want a better one.

VapeVamp12 - Yep, that’s what I’m leaning towards. Can put the other one in bedroom I guess

ShirleyPhallus - I know, I know

I'd buy my own so it was the size/spec that suited me and my needs. Especially if you want to use it as a smart tv

Buy your own

Travis1 - good point. I’m probably going to do that.

Is a bit cheeky otherwise I guess

Buy your own, I think. Al Campo is a shop that sells TVs cheaply. Check them out.

Looking at your username I’m guessing your close to the shopping centre La Canada. There is an Al Campo in there.

Good luck.

You can ask for a better tv but that doesn't mean it's gonna be a smart tv or smart compatible just better than what's there

Personally I would just buy your own then you know it's up to the standards you would want

MrsCasares - yes, I’m close to that mall. Thanks for the tip! Better get myself down there.

ADayAlwaysHasToEnd - yep good point. I’ll bite the bullet and get on with getting a new one,

It’s time some tv shopping. Thanks for your replies!

If there are comparable flats with better amenities for the same price, why not choose them?

Most are 6 months upfront

I like this apartment. The tv was just a little niggle that I will now resolve by purchasing a new one.

Was just trying to figure out what’s plausible to negotiate in these instances. It’s been on the market for over 6 months so thought I’d be a little cheeky.
