Renters making changes to the property - Reasons a rental provider can refuse changes.

What are the reason why rental providers refuse some changes?

Examples of situations where it could be appropriate for the rental provider to deny the renter's request to make alterations include:

• The alterations would have an impact on the property's heritage protections.

• The modifications would indicate that the property didn't adhere to other legal requirements (such as putting security screens on the windows of a downstairs apartment, if the evacuation rules say the windows must be able to open in an emergency)

• The changes would dramatically change the property.

• The adjustment would necessitate making changes to other locations or public spaces.

• If the modifications are not reversed when the tenant vacates, the rental property will incur additional maintenance charges.

• It is not practically possible to take the necessary measures to undo the changes.

• The renter has received a valid notice to vacate and the property is set to be sold or deserted.
