Am having one of those yuck months of being a landlord.
A unit we have is in a building undergoing remediation works. We moved out in February and all that was needed to be done was new carpet in 2 of the bedrooms and one wall in the bedroom had to be painted.
The head engineer has just called and advised that they have been unable to obtain access to our unit to do these jobs. Turns out they've been trying for a while but decide to only tell us now, a few days out from the final date for all repairs to be completed.
Do we have any right to gain access for these works or is it just bad luck if they won't let the builders in? There haven't been any periodic inspections on the place yet so I assume we can use that excuse to at least get the builders in at the same time.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
