Washing machine repair in the City of Edinburgh: Renters vs homeowners

For homeowners:

If you own your home, the responsibility for repairs is yours. Keep receipts and warranties for any work - they may be useful if you sell your property or need to make a claim.

For renters:

Washing machine repairs in rented homes are usually the landlord’s responsibility, unless damage was caused by misuse. Report the fault to your landlord or letting agent promptly and keep written records of all communication. Some tenancy agreements require you to use approved repairers, so check before booking.
