"The Landlord Refuses To Replace The Broken Tile. Our Rent Is $3,257 Per Month"
"We just moved into an apartment and noted during inspection that this tile was broken and several others were cracked. The landlord told us to "make a list", which we did, presumably to be addressed after we moved in.
After weeks of searching, I located and purchased 6 matching tiles (pictured). I showed them to my landlord and asked when she could schedule her handyman. Her reply was, "That's a lot of work. Just fill the gap with some putty."
That's completely absurd given our rent. I'll replace them myself, but her response makes me want to break the tiles when we move out and keep the broken bits."

In Australia Governments would have these landlords in court. There is strong protection for tenants here.

Jane, Yes, we learned during COVID that the Australian government behaves like a Fascist nanny.
