So I just got home from work, my landlord's had a plumber in today sorting out some issues with the bathroom.
I sit down on my Ekornes reclining chair to find it's fucked. A bolt and housing between arm and back has been sheared clean off and a leather strap holding the seat to the arm is snapped too.
I've let the landlord know, and the plumber is (hopefully) due back soon as the toilet's in the hallway. He seemed like a sound guy so hopefully he'll confess to breaking it and... Offer to pay for the repair?
What can I do to not get dicked over and left with a fucked chair?
Might be a bit tricky if he denies all knowledge. Kind of hard to see how fixing the toilet involves applying brute force to a reclining chair which presumably was not in the bathroom?
Maybe contact your contents insurer and see if you can get insurance details from plumber?
Yeah, he's denied all knowledge. Presumably he'd taken a break at some point. I'd made him a coffee just before I went out. Who knows? He had about 4 hours in the house by himself, he could've done whatever he liked.
