The management company of the building in which I own a flat are carrying out major reworks in the communal areas. How much of a rebate should I offer my tenant? Are there any guidelines to ensure I offer a fair amount?

That very much depends on whether the tenant will be able to live in the flat as normal.
Or are the works such the tenant will have to move out?
Please give more details. -
A rebate?
Shouldn't you be putting the rent up in view of a nicer environment?
To save them chiming in, JPKeates, Theartfullodger, Boletus, Mindthegap, Macromia, Holy Cow & Ted.E.Bear think the opposite of me on almost every subject.Comment

The flat itself is not directly affected although there are issues during the day with noise and sometimes dust. From the outset, I've offered a cleaner to come in as many times as necessary to clean the property at my expense.Comment

Surely the contractors are required to keep the communal areas "clean" therefore unless you have very draughty doors I suggest that the amount of "extra" dust arriving in the flat will be minimal. Given noise etc; given that most contractors do not start until nine and finish by four (twelve oclock on fridays)I do not see that there is an issue. Certainly in your position I would merely inform the tenant of the schedule of works and let them get on with it. Certainly would not be sending in cleaners!!!!
Well thats my view!!!!Comment

There is a difference between 're-decorating' (your thread title) and a 'major re-work' (your #1) involving lots of dust, noise, etc.
Please clarify exactly what is being done and how long it is likely to take.'Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation fo the first link on one memorable day'.

How much is YOUR landlord ( The management company ) giving youOriginally posted by gobsmacked View Post
for the disturbance.
If the answer is "nothing", then that is what you as a landlord offer to your
tenants,, absolutely nothing.
Want a nice place to live in ? then you put up with the repairs that
MAKE it a nice place to live in.

Reply to Tenant in situIt's almost impossible to reset the tenancy with a new agreement.
The buyer will inherit the previous tenancy at the same point that they're able to let the property on the new agreement, so any new tenancy is going to be a follow on tenancy.
So things that need to be done at the very start...24-01-2022, 14:57 PM -
Reply to Rent a Room schemeYou're really going to struggle with that not being a tenancy.
If the tenant can lock the door to exclude you, and they could wash in a sink, that's likely to be a dwelling house.24-01-2022, 14:52 PM -
