Hi.
Legally the landlady can chose but it would be worth emailing the agent and asking if they will pass on your request.
Landlords usually prefer neutral colours and designs bearing in mind they will have to please the next tenant too.
If there are other issues such as you describe maybe the landlord wouldn’t be too bothered about the actual furniture but sounds as if they might not be the type of person to supply new either.
If you got your own and are in a position to do this if you moved would it possible to rent somewhere unfurnished next time ? Obviously that may not fit in with your plans in life. Or you could have a look at second hand sofas. People can’t give them away these days so you might be able to get a bargain.
Landlady should be fixing all the things you mention and don’t think it’s your job to dispose of a sofa that is clearly broken.
