Landlord or tenant to purchase and install?

[KCYA]

For those specifically that rent, if you had a broken door handle which was slightly faulty when you moved in 1.5 years ago, would you expect to purchase and install a new one? Or would you expect the Landlord to purchase a new handle and have this installed instead?

Im a landlord and regularly replace and install door handles at my own expense. Its my actual door.

I would 100% expect the landlord to do this, unless I'd done something mental like pelt the door with rocks or whack it with a sledgehammer.

I'm an inventory clerk, that would be a landlord thing

Had you broken it and could find identical replacement then it would be a you think - acting in a tenant like manner

But most landlords prefer to know about such things and to fix them themselves, mostly to avoid the sometimes atrocious fuck ups some tenants go with!

As a tennant Id assume it's the landlords responsibility, but personally I'd do it myself. It's a cheap job to do, and I couldn't be bothered with the faff of reporting it and then arranging access and to be there.

I am a landlord. This is my responsibility. It's part of the fixtures and fittings of the house..

Well it's their door and presumably the flat is meant to come with functioning doors.

If itcwas old and/or faulty, landlord. If it was newish and/or solid and good quality but someone decided to swing of it, tenant.

I'd replace it myself - but then my cooker door has faulty hinges and I am replacing that myself too - told my landlady I didn't like the head escaping from the door as its not cooking well so did she want it stored or should I take it to the tip.
I like to think it's quid pro quo for her not raising my rent for the last 7 years - I do as much as I can and keep her informed, she gets stuff done I can't sort like when the living room wall fell down!

Thank you all!
