Description
As a tenant you have the right to improve your home, as long as
you get the council's written permission first. An improvement
means an alteration or addition to your home and includes the
following:
- installing any new or replacement fixtures or fittings, such as
heating or kitchen units;
- installing satellite dishes or aerials; and
- putting up fencing.
If you decide that you want to improve your home, you should
write to or e-mail us with full details of the work you want to
do.
You must not make any alterations until you have received our
written permission, which will also tell you what conditions you
need to keep to. Please note that even if you have our permission
as landlord, you still need to get any necessary planning
permission or building regulations approval for the work.
