Hi all,
First let me start off by saying, thanks in advance, as I am drawing blanks all over the place lol.
My partner and I moved into this rental not too long ago, mainly for locality, it is dog friendly and the rest of the house is fairly good.
We really need some budget DIY ideas to fix this old worn kitchen, could we paint the tiles? any ideas would be so helpful. Pictures at the bottom.
(backstory)
Our realestate agent got us this place for a cheaper price as the last tenant didn't look after it and left it in a mess and we had been in a rental prior to this for 4 years and took extreme care and pride with it, paid rent on time and always kept it spotless inside and outside, so the realestate agent was desperate to keep us with them and the landlord was eager to have us move in asap.
We have had rent inspection and the landlord and real estate were over the moon with what we have done with the place and the gardens we have installed. Our realestate agent said she would ask the landlord if we could paint the walls, pull up the 35 yr old carpet up and re buff the flooring boards, install a security door, and even fit a stainless steel oven at our own expense as our current oven is way too small, we'd be happy to do this. Our only ask was that she chip in for the tiles and backsplash for the sink as the board is weathering bad.
The realestate agent told us she responded with :
She replied with, this is only an investment property for her so she doesn't believe that she needs to do any maintenance and she stated that she wasn't here or there about us making changes to the kitchen her response was "yeah you can make some changes i guess"? I am a bit off put by this as for the most part we are willing to put in the time money and effort to renovate most things in the house, we really take care of our home. Am I overreacting?
Thanks so much guys, sorry for the long story and vent.
