Conflict hotspot

Renovations

Disruptive works, constructive eviction and repair disputes.

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

Know where you stand

  • ·Tenants: challenge renovations that make premises uninhabitable
  • ·Landlords: set out scope, timing and access in writing
  • ·Both: photograph condition before and after works
  • ·Tribunals can balance compensation and access rights
