Funny Landlord Light Chain Repair

10 – Light Chain

When you ask the landlord to repair the pull chain on the light you do not expect it to be done right away. You don’t expect it to be a major priority. But you might expect them to at least pay for a new chain that would cost pennies. But not this landlord, because he is the paper clip king!

Be it a landlord, caretaker or home DIY fan. Whoever made this repair is ether a genius or very tight with money. I will guess and say they are a bit of both because after all the clock does work now in a fashion.

Funny Toilet Repair

7 – Toilet

Now I understand that some landlords are not flushed with cash, but when your tenant asks you to repair the toilet flush it really should be done right. Putting a bungee cord on the flush is not a solution it is a  stop-gap, cowboy style repair that ends up in lists like this.

Funny Landlord Door Repair

6 – Door Handle

I know from my own experiences that when you live in shared accommodation privacy is at a premium.  So if you have a broken door handle you would like it to be repaired as fast as possible. But when you have a landlord like this who need privacy invaders? To be fair it did make me smile.

The amount of images there are out there of people doing this exact same thing is just plain scary. I suppose it does work in a fashion, but when I ask for the shower to be repaired by the landlord I would expect a proper job done. not his bad DIY rubbish.

Not having any water to bath or shower with can be a real problem and I have had to survive for several days myself when the shower broke and I had to save up for a new one. But this landlord isn’t going to be paying our for a new boiler any-time soon, not when you have a perfectly working kettle.

When you stay in Russia and complain that the hand soap dispenser has run out, do not expect a first class repair it seems. Is a hotel owner a landlord? Well maybe, but the bad repair job is still worth sharing with you all.

When a bunch of students moved into rented accommodation during the summer time they didn’t need the heating on. But when winter come and it was time to warm the house up a little they soon realised that the thermostat dial was not real at all and was just glued to the wall! A very bad landlord indeed.
