Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with anyone asking a question like this. Better to ask the question than to fly ahead in ignorance either way. There are possible circumstances where a landlord might even cover this, for a long-term tenant if the property was due a freshening up anyway. Don't discourage people from asking simple questions.

How is that a reasonable question?

A bit of common sense would give the answer fairly quickly. If we need to start walking people around by their hands then god help the world.

I disagree. It's not 'common sense' - it is simple, factual information. If you've rented before, you're probably going to know the answer. If not, you probably won't know the answer - so you ask. Belittling someone for asking for information is fairly low.

From the anyone know page:

''we are in a rented house and would like to do up our daughters room, painting it pink and purple. is it up to us or landlord to pay?"

Deffo the landlord!! And the landlord also has to fill up your fridge every week, and change your light bulbs and whatever else you need love!!!

The ever increasing sense of entitlement certain sections of society are experiencing is consecutively eroding any common sense or personal responsibility that they had.
And they wonder why they end up homeless in a hotel.

Or maybe read your lease and see what it says instead of asking the Internet!

It is common sense. These people are adults. The landlord provided a liveable environment presumably.
If the landlord is obliged to pay for redecorating a bedroom then why not all the rooms? And if I decide I don't like the new colour of the kitchen next week, must he pay for it to be decorated again? Where do you draw the line?
This is just common sense and being reasonable and not having outrageous expectations.
Also if they go ahead and paint this mans property pink and purple without getting the go ahead from him, and then they move out in a few weeks, who should pay to put the room back ?
I consider these things to be common sense, in particular for adults who are parents.

In fairness, reading and interpreting a lease written in legalese would be difficult for many people, especially anyone who doesn't have 3rd level education. From nala.ie;

[*]17.9% (550,057) of Irish adults are at or below Level 1 on the literacy scale. This compares with 22% at or below Level 1 in the last International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) results in 1997

Also, given the number of people who are non-native English language speakers in the rental sector, I wouldn't be at all surprised that people have difficulties finding this out.

Asking a question does not mean that they have a sense of entitlement about the answer to that question. It just means that they don't know how things generally work when renting, so they have the common sense to ask for information.

FFS Guys. This isn't Facebook.

They're natural position is that they are entitled to demand that the landlord pay to have the interior of the house that he owns defaced.
They go on Facebook to have their position ratified.Asking for advice from strangers on Facebook would be the opposite of common sense.
Common sense would be ringing threshold.

DO NOT ACCEPT A FRIEND REQUEST FROM A CHRISOPHER DAVIES AND JESSICA DAVIES THEY ARE HACKERS. TELL EVERY 1 ON YOUR LIST BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY ON YOUR LIST ADDS HIM, HE'LL BE ON YOUR LIST TOO. HE'LL FIGURE OUT UR COMPUTER'S ID AND ADDRESS , SO COPY & PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVEN IF U DON'T CARE. Please also
Tell all contacts from your list not to accept a video called the "Dance of the Pope". It is a virus that formats your mobile. Beware it is very dangerous. They announced it today on the radio. Fwd this msg to as many as you can!

Well it's obviously true if they announced it today on the radio . On the radio! Imagine that!
Though I would have liked to have seen that video, "Dance of the Pope" ... Funky Frankie, eh?

You've got that from your own imagination, not from anything they posted.

As far as I'm concerned if it even occurred to either of them that they may be entitled to demand that the landlord decorate their child's bedroom (and it obviously has, or they wouldn't be looking on Facebook for affirmation) then it speaks to both their sense of entitlement and total lack of any common sense.
If you can see anything positive or life affirming that it speaks to please elaborate.

If that was me, I'd have a chat with the landlord and go nowhere near facebook.

"If you buy your child a tablet for xmas common sence wud tell you to make sure they are very much restricted what they should be able to see on the internet an monitored its frightening ur 8 yr old tells you that another 8 year old showed her 2 people having sex on their tablet am absolutely sickened to my stomac 😷😷..no innocents in children these days and far too exposed becuz of the internet!!!"

Am I taking a leap in logic here by seeing that she wanted a quad for the child, to be a motorised quad bike or some sort?

But all the fella could afford is an old phone, some second hand clothes and a happy meal toy

And when he couldn't deliver on this demanded gift, was hung out to dry in public on facebook! :mad:

Fcuking hell, this should go into the "I cancelled Christmas" thread as another example of the pressures of xmas on some people

Her proper daddy always makes sure she gets everything she wants..:(

They came to Facebook looking for information, not affirmation. There are circumstances where a landlord will agree to fund redecoration - long term tenant and property due renovation. THere is no entitlement, but there may be situations where there is no harm in asking.

I see it as positive and life-affirming that someone who needed information about legal status and usual practice asked for that information before making decisions.

Any legal issues I have, Facebook is the answer alright!

Whoever put that up is a gob****e pure and simple

Sorry I couldn't make it. Very foggy here. A deer jumped over a hedge and onto the bonnet of my car a couple of weeks ago in thick fog, not realising it was jumping straight onto the road.I'm still a bit shaken up about it. I was crying for 2 hours about the fact that I accidentally killed such a huge mammal. There's nothing I could have done to avoid it. I know it wasn't my fault, it jumped ONTO the car. I phoned up the owner of the field in the hedge it jumped over straight away, incase it was wounded and not dead. He left the house straight away with his rifle to put it out of its misery if indeed, it wasn't dead. I couldn't bear the idea of it bleeding to death slowly, a slow and painful death.

She couldn't make the hunt because she was upset about killing a deer??

Killing a deer weeks ago apparently.

Iiiif that was an Irish post, it's worth commenting that as of a couple of years ago at least, hunts were mostly drag-hunts, no live quarry involved.

While it sounds mental, it is possible that she's used to drag-hunting and the concept of killing an animal was legitimately upsetting to her/she's never been on a hunt with a fox, deer or badger at the end of it.

I may have some of the terminology wrong.

She's in the U.K and used to fox hunting, her reasoning being they are vermin.
It was more the fact that it's still foggy where she lives that's stopping her.

😡😡😡In addition to porn videos, there is apparently a new hack on Facebook. Between the comments of your contacts, it includes a hurtful phrase coming from you. It's very dirty, 👿👿👿 and it would seem that you wrote it. You do not see it, but your friends do. This situation can create many misunderstandings.😡😡😡I would like to say to all my contacts that if something shocking appears, it doesn't come from me and I would be grateful if you let me know. 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you very much.
