UK Landlord Forum / Life

Hi guys

My tenant of nearly 4 years who has payed rent on time every month, has replaced the living room carpet at his own expense, now I am thinking should I make a contribution to the cost or just let it ride?

All the best

Too soft, let it ride, they won't leave because you don't contribute.  An upgrade is a nice perk as properties usually get trashed.  If you're feeling guilty maybe upgrade something else in the property.

Agreed!

You lucky sod,where do you find tenants like this? Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Legally he might be able to take the carpet with him when he leaves! - not certain and certainly highly unlikely.

If he hasn't asked for a contribution then the fact you are even pondering the question might make you the nicest landlord in the UK and him the nicest tenant in the UK. 
Wow! . 
Is the house in Toytown or some other fantasy land?

As you are so nice, I would to placate your concious, consider upgrading something else, but be wary this could be a reciprocating nightmare...
