Should the landlord replace toilet seat before a new tenant in York?

The Act also requires the landlord to provide and maintain the toilet seat in good working condition. Furthermore, the landlord is responsible for ensuring the toilet seat is safe and sanitary for use.

Some landlords may voluntarily choose to replace the toilet seat before a new tenant as part of their standard property management practices, even if not required by law.

However, if a tenant specifically requests that the landlord replace the toilet seat, the landlord must do so promptly, as long as the request is made in writing and is reasonable.

If a landlord fails to replace the toilet seat before a new tenant, the tenant may have the option to request a rent reduction or to file a complaint with the tenancy board.
