    As per the title, is there a definitive list for what a landlord should provide?

    I have read that pots and pans, TV etc are not expected but just wondering on things like irons, toaster etc

    There is it's in the regs, they are regularly quoted here, not so regularly that I can remember where they are!

    In all honesty I don' think Irons and toasters are covered and neither should they be.

    You can buy them yourself once and take them with you wherever you go.

    thanks for that - so you dont have to provide and household items at all? thats mad! i would have thought crockery and cutlery etc would have been a basic requirement.

    Not a legal requirement, landlords can if they want.

    To be honest though, I wouldn't want to use crockery or utensils that you've no idea who or what has been near them before you. When I was renting I had a box of odd bits I had collected over the years that I brought with me everywhere.

    I'd guess most do provide them because the less a tenant has to spend on a rental property, the more rentable it is but it's a pain in the arse getting a call from a tenant saying the kettle isn't working . It's a different thing altogether to say they have to be provided.

    To be honest I am happy to rent a place without finding grannys old pots, grubby cutlery and chalked up kettle. Sometimes I am just amazed what sort of collectings one can find in the press. I would find it more important to have a decent, clean mattress and good furniture rather than the small bits and pieces you can get yourself and as in many places storage is limited I don't want items in there that I don't even use. But that's just my opinion.
