Replacement Furniture at End of tenancy

[GenXer62]

So, I have lived quietly in a rented apartment for about 10 years over which time I have relaced nearly all of the original furnishings. I've just got on with it really after the first couple of items wore out and the landlord simply agreed to just get rid.
Now I am moving out into a unfurnished house and realise that hardly anything from the original itinary list remains. What are my responsibilities after all this time? Do I just take my things with me or am I legally expected to replace like with like from items the orignal list?
Thank-you

What does your tenancy agreement say? It should be in there. Was it a furnished tenancy agreement? Anything on the inventory list normally needs to stay/be replaced.

I would leave the furniture behind as you replaced it through wear, could you possibly replace it with a cheaper or second hand, then take your preferred furniture?

Anything that’s over 10 years old would be disregarded if the landlord tried to claim. It’s very poor that they charged you for a furnished rental and you had to replace their worn out old stuff.

Take your furniture with you

In a furnished let the landlord should have replaced worn items. It is acknowledged that normal wear and tear happens to furniture (and carpets/paintwork) and you do not need to make this good. You absolutely don't need to replace items because the ones you were given became worn. Yes, you could replace the landlord's items with 2nd hand items that are at least 10 years old, but that is helping no-one. It is also a massive hassle for you as you'd need eg 2 sofas in there while you are preparing to vacate with the furniture you are taking. The landlord should have replaced these things for you over the years, you didn't need to pay. I would think that you should write to the landlord/agent and explain what you are taking and why, just to keep things clear. They should be absolutely fine. By the way, the formula used for such things would be eg sofa cost £500 when new. Expected to last say 10 years, therefore depreciates at £50 per year. Value after 10 years = £0, therefore landlord should refresh the furnishings (and no doubt the decorating etc) at their own expense once you leave. They should be grateful that they will inherit a semi-empty flat rather than one filled with furniture more than 10 years old that they would just have to dispose of at this stage anyway.

Just take your own things. You’re not legally obliged to replace LL’s furniture. If they wanted to throw it out that was up to them, but they should have replaced it for you out of their pocket. Did you have any of this in writing? Did they not once ask if you needed anything over the last 10 years?? I would just take the things you bought. Take a photo of everything too and hopefully you have an inventory and photos of the place before you moved In? If not, even better if it goes to the deposit scheme. They won’t be bothered about things from 10 years ago especially if the LL didn’t bother to replace their own things for a furnished apartment you’re paying for.

Take your own things that you paid for with own money. If you were paying for a furnished flat the landlord should have replaced them at his own expense when they needed replacing. As pp say you won't lose deposit as the deprecated value of each worn-out item is zero.

Take it with you. They can't claim for furniture that's over 10 years old as the DPS would consider it all needing to be replaced ( by the landlord!) after ten years.

Some great answers. Thank-you all for taking the time to respond.
