Frequently Asked Questions
I want to alter my property. Do I need to ask my landlord for permission?
You should ensure that the lease allows you to carry out alterations to the property. There may be a pre-condition that you must obtain consent from your landlord or some other party before proceeding with any works. This means that you cannot carry out the works without first obtaining consent. Consent should not be unreasonably withheld if the alteration is an improvement. If your lease does not allow you to carry out alterations you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
