Washing machine repair in Glasgow: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home in Glasgow, you’re usually responsible for arranging and paying for washing machine repairs - unless it’s a shared appliance in a block or covered by a warranty. Keep receipts, quotes and any guarantees in case you need to make an insurance or warranty claim.

Renters

Live in a rented flat or house? Then your landlord is generally responsible for fixing or replacing a broken washing machine - if it was supplied as part of your tenancy.

• Report the issue in writing (email or text is fine)
• Include photos and a description of the problem
• Check your tenancy agreement for appliance responsibilities

If you’ve bought the washing machine yourself, then it’s up to you to fix it - but always keep your landlord in the loop.

Landlords

As a landlord in Glasgow, you’re responsible for ensuring any supplied appliances are safe and in good working order. That includes:

• Promptly repairing faulty machines
