u/Olive-Free

I’ve posted a couple of days ago regarding my landlord not wanting to fix or replace my hob because of an ambiguous clause in the contract. The hob is hard wired and the property came as a part finished rental agreement.

With the help of others I emailed the landlord regarding this but they have still refused to fix or replace quoting the contract again. Here is the email back.

“I am sorry that you are not clear and have difficulties in interpreting the contract. You should have taken some advice before entering into it." Do not sign this agreement without reading it. By signing this document, you are agreeing to all the conditions in it. If you do not understand it, you should seek advice from a Solicitor, Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Housing Advice Centre."

What would my next step be? Can i request for the stove to be removed and just buy my own.

As the title suggests I need some advice, I moved into a rental property 2 months ago and the one of the rings from the hob broke and stopped working. Most likely due to wear and tear landlord doesn’t want to replace it and are directing me to the tenancy agreement as it is part of inventory. But the hob clearly was neglected see photo of hob and also the paragraph the landlord is referring to. That was the hob I had when I moved in. I need advise because I obviously need a hob to be able to cook.
