Thank you all for the break lease info. I did this yesterday and they didnt even turn a hair (I expected all sorts of recriminations) but...
when we shifted in, we couldnt fit our normal size fridge into the space for a fridge and it would have had to sit out in the middle of the kitchen for a year. My partner has modified the space so that our fridge fits. Note: this is a normal size fridge, the measurements are the same as 80% on the market except for those big ones. It would be a simple matter for us to put the big headboard back in that he took out and repaint, but given that the next tenant will face the same problem, do we ask the re to ask the owner what they want done, or just fix it and consider it not our problem.
The same with the dishwasher (well, lack of it) we bought one, and hubby drilled some holes in the cupboard and set up an access for the outlet into the plumbing under the sink. We think we have done the owner a favour, what is the consensus out there??? We dont want to be charged 'professional' fees to fix these things after we leave as partner can fix them in a flash
