Understanding the issue

Renovations

Renovation conflicts cover noisy or unsafe works, refusal to repair, demolition threats and tenants pressured to leave during upgrades. Landlords upgrading stock need lawful notice; tenants deserve quiet enjoyment and habitability.

  • ·Major works may require notice and alternative arrangements
  • ·Deposit disputes often follow post-renovation inspections
  • ·Commercial tenants have distinct repair covenants under CAP 301
  • ·Unsafe sites should be reported to county public health

Your rights

  • ·Tenants: challenge renovations that make premises uninhabitable
