How This Affects Your Rental Property
- The works must be substantial and cannot be carried out with tenants in place
- The landlord must have owned the property before the current tenancy began
- The tenancy must have been in place for at least six months
- A minimum of four months’ notice must be given to tenants
- There are no restrictions on re-letting once the works are complete
This means careful planning, clear evidence, and a genuine intention to carry out major redevelopment is essential to successfully rely on Ground 6. Failure to demonstrate the scale and necessity of the works may result in the claim being rejected. For managed properties, we will ensure all notices, timelines, and supporting evidence are handled in full compliance with current legislation.
