Habygirl Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi The house I rent out has loft ladders into the attic, which is fully boarded and used as another room. I show tenants how to use the ladders safely and there are instructions on the ladders. A previous tenant's visitor used the ladders incorrectly, fell off and broke her leg. She is now suing me for damages! I have had the ladders inspected and they are not faulty and the current tenant has not reported a problem with them. I would be so grateful for any advice. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carryon Regardless Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I would have thought this to be a problem for your insurance to resolve. Far less hassle for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melboy Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Stow-away loft ladders into attic rooms to use as a habitable bedroom (?) is against building regulations anyway and your insurance company will not honour the claim.
