The tenant’s letter refers to correspondence in 2011, which resulted (the letter states) in no work being carried out. It refers to the letter of 7 December 2016 as specifying different works. The letter then requests the landlord to carry out an inspection so as to draw up “a proper schedule of works”, given the level of disruption anticipated.

In it, the tenant again asks for a schedule of works. The landlord replied on 15 June, and states that the landlord would endeavour to carry out (undescribed) refurbishment as quickly as possible, but the tenant would have to move out because “you will not have the use of bathroom and kitchen facilities for several days at a time”. …
