Browse Forums General Discussion 1 May 22, 2008 8:14 pm The apartment I'm buying obviously comes with a landline phone outlet plug thing with that annoying plate you can hang certain phones on/attach them to the wall, etc.
Firstly, we want this plate gone. We need the wall for a bookshelf. Our phones can't attach to walls anyway. Secondly, we don't need the landline outlet at all, as we have no landline. We use Virgin broadband @ home which is also a landline but runs through the modem which just plugs into a powerpoint anywhere in the apartment (that gets decent reception), so...no need for a landline. Do we HAVE to keep the landline for any future buyers if we sell our apartment one day down the track? Is it illegal somehow if we covered up the outlet and then potential buyers years later will move in with no phone capabilities (or many expenses to reinstate one)? How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Is it illegal to remove the landline phone outlet? 2May 22, 2008 8:18 pm [quote="grace_slick]

Right now with the plate thing the shelf would stick out too much. How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing!

No you dont have to keep it at all. grace_slick Is it illegal somehow if we covered up the outlet and then potential buyers years later will move in with no phone capabilities (or many expenses to reinstate one)? Rip the thing off the wall and chuck it away, or at least move it onto the skirting board. How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents?
