Hi
We started renting a beautiful home in December. We pay £1,800 a month for the house which is a hell of a lot of money.
We have had a letter saying building works begin on a patch of land next to our garden next week and the foundations mean they will have to take down our fence and work in our garden!
We both work from home too which will be impossible with the noise. We also have a dog who will go berserk at the builders in the garden and she wont be able to go outside.
We are absolutely gutted that our dream home has become such a nightmare and we will not be able to use the garden for over 2 months! Well, we can, but not privately!
Any advice on if we can refuse to pay rent? or at least get a reduction? Can we move out and break the lease legally? The landlord knew about this and did not tell us before we moved in. My other concern is that our garden will now be completely overlooked by the new house.
Any advice please?
