Hi All,

I've got a excellent, long-term tenant that is obese. *On average, he was
breaking toilet seats about once a year. *The last time the seat broke, I
put in an expensive $30 unit. *It lasted almost two years. *

I can't afford to keep going back on the same problem cause labor is just
way too expensive. *Does anyone make a *real* heavy duty toilet seat?


Get several wood ones and combine the plastic feet from them onto one
seat.


They used to sell feet separately.

I ended up with one that was made with four feet on the ring. AFAicr
a lot of them only have two, so this one should hold a lot more
weighbt.

But is it really the LL's responsibillty, if he put in a seat of
normal strength and a tenant broke it?

OP, if you do buy another one, maybe give the tenant the receipt and
tell him he's responsible. Does it say otherwise in the lease, and
even if it seems to, isn't this seat abuse?
