520 _aChD 9 February 2001. A were tenants in a block of flats. The communal pipework for the block was in good order. However, an increase in demand for water in the surrounding area, and a drop in water pressure, led to an insufficient water supply to the individual flats. Under clause 2(5) of each tenancy agreement the landlord (B) agreed to keep the pipes in good repair and working order. The court considered whether B was in breach of clause 2(5) of the tenancy agreement, or Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 s11(1)(b). An appeal to the High Court was allowed: B could have acted to ensure that during the period of intermittent water supply the installations were capable of supplying water to A's flats.
