Improving your lot
Aylott, G.
Improving your lot - 2001 - Property Week 66(11) 16 March 2001, 52-53(2) .
Looks at the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927 s3, which provides a loophole for tenants wishing to carry out alterations to a property, even if alterations have been barred by the landlord. Gives reasons for the underuse of s3. Among these is the simple fact that many practitioners are unaware of this part of the legislation. Under s3 the tenant can remove a bar on alterations by issuing the landlord with written notice of an intention to make improvements. If the landlord fails to respond with a written objection within 3 months the tenant may carry out the proposed improvements.
