You can get some very good nearly new sofas. So I can understand her thinking that she could get a good s/hand one. New lose value so fast , like a new car.
If she did that, but she didnât even offer to buy one for the flat. I donât understand. If we bin this one, she wonât have a sofa in the living room for the next tenants. I buy something not too expensive for us, itâs just my boyfriend and myself. I will need to keep it in mind that next time I can only go for unfurnished. I have quite a few furnitures. To be honest, I think it would be better if all landlords rented places unfurnished. It could save the hassle and negotiation.
you are right i only do unfurnished

You sound a landlords nightmare 
Ok and why is that?? If a flat comes with a sofa and that sofa is already broken upon moving in, shouldnât it be sorted out?
As a landlord, I am, like Colin 3 , often left with quite nice sofas that people canât be bothered to take. Fortunately the next tenant has used them without complaint, but if they did, I would look on freecycle. . In our own house we have two lovely sofas for free, just had to borrow a van to pick them up. One of them was almost new, cost over a thousand pounds and spotless covers.
Also RSPCA shop has great sofas.
Help save waste by using some sofas that need a home, and leave it behind when you goâŚ

How can I open a new topic? I donât know ⌠may situation is might be similar. There is no any heating radiators in a flat, not at all and a landlord doesnât bother to put any. I asked her and even we agreed she would do some things in her flat after I moved in but now, she doesnât care, doesnât do anything and even doesnât answer for any my calls, letters, texts. The toilet must be repairs either as its wobbling/moving. The flat is in a very poor condition. I donât know what to do. Suddenly the landlord sent me eviction letter referred some items in the contract but didnât explained anything for what. I assume I just annoyed her with a lot of complaints regarding her sâŚt property but for very expansive cost. So greedy, extremely greedy landlord!

go to your local council housing officer and explain the situation

You can contact Shelter as well, although theyâre quite busy.
Only a court barrister is allowed to remove you from the property.
Your landlord is not allowed to illegally evict you herself. She cannot bar access or remove your belongings herself.
Your landlord is also required to meet certain standards. Talk to the council housing officer.
My son got a lovely sofa off freecycle, too.
