Hello, I have a dishwasher in a rented property that has gone wrong and needs to be repaired. I understand that I am responsible for this as it was part of the tenancy.

The tenant does not have time to wait in for the visit and says it is my responsibility to be there as the dishwasher is mine.

I have the same question for the annual boiler inspection.

Should it be the tenant’s time or my time to wait in for the visit?

Thank you,
Mark
