    Our apartment door got kicked in at 3.45am this morning by some idiot! :confused:

    Does anyone know how much it would cost to fix the door? It was the lock on the door frame that flew off and not the one that is attached to the actual door.

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you own the apartment or you renting, if your renting then its the landlords job imho...unless of course the idiot was a flatmate or something :)

    Thanks Cabaal.

    I am going to ring the letting agent as they are really good and see if they can sort it.

    He was a complete randomer - did he ever hear of knocking rather than kicking?!

    Def the landlords problem OP,

    Same thing really if somone kicked in your window.


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭Mysterious&Shy


    Thanks ziedth:)

    It's all being sorted now thanks all. Just had the Gardai here too.

    Landlords problem.

    If they are in no rush to fix it get it done yourself, but take the cost out of next months rent.

    I'm also perplexed by this, if some random person damages the flats door how is the person living in the flat responsible for it?

    I'd love to hear your logicto explain this one

    Me too as I was clearly upset by this. Why would I be at fault? Why would you kick me out of my apartment?

    Let's just say a number of people here have had dealings with book a room and know how quickly they give back deposits.

    whether you like it or not... some good advice...
    get a confirmation of the report to the garda....
    Cause if i was the landlord, how would i know it wasnt you drunk or a mate of yours who caused the damage and are now telling porkies so you dont have pay for the damage...

    cover your ass and get something from the garda.... so you cant be blamed on it....

    Fiance did.

    sorry OP, i honeslty thought it was my door ;)

    seriously though, must have been a terrifying experience, sorry to hear

    Get the garda report, as long as the letting agency isnt book a room you should be ok re the deposit

    did you see whoever did it?

    i assume this is a city centre area?

    edit- just saw your post re the fiance seeing the guy, ye hardly know him or anything? a neighbour or something?

    No didn't know him at all, didn't look like a neighbour. Garda report will be sent out early next week. Yep it's city centre.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,455 ✭✭✭anplaya

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    I would advise not to say where OP,

    Just my two cent

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    Tbf it's rotten in there :)

    I was up in cork last night with mrs ziedth and we went out for food! Only about say 9ish walking through town and I actually felt unsafe.

    I'd imagine Waterford was no better, any arrests anyone here?
