Furnished Accomodation, standard of furniture

[rG-tom]

Hey guys,

I've recently moved into furnished accomodation, and before moving in I checked the standard of the furniture before moving in, namely the bed.

The QUALITY of the bed was good, it was just worn out.....the letting agency said it's fine they'll replace it.

Fast forward to last night, and a bed shop has delivered a replacement bed on behalf of the letting agency.

Problem is, it's of nowhere near the standard of the other bed....it's a fair bit smaller (good half a foot in each dimension) and the mattress is that bad that you can already feel the springs coming through it! Not acceptable, i've only slept on it for one night and my back is absolutely killing me. I'm a fairly big bloke and it's too short as well.

Where do you think I'd stand? Basically if the bed had been this crap in the first place I wouldn't have taken the letting, so it's not as advertised in essence?

Unfortunately the letting agency aren't open today, so I can't take it up with them, but it's actually half tempting to just go and buy a decent bed and either bill them for it or reduce my rent accordingly, but know that this would cause problems ++

Tom.

i expected the same standard as was already in place, just new teaboy5.....the rest of the house (it's a shared house) has the same bed as I had, mine was just broken.....so yea i expected a half decent bed

Man up. Waaah I can feel the springs, get over it.

If you want something doing right (or in this case buying right) then do it yourself.

if id taken the tenancy on an unfurnished basis then fair enough, but why should i pay "extra" for furnishings based on what i was presented on viewing to then have to buy my own stuff? It's bull****
