Good afternoon,
A client wants my company to access a commercial property (shop) to carry out some remedial works and subsequent test. The owner of the company is refusing to shut down his business (perhaps understandably) to allow this to happen. I was just wondering what the usual procedure would be here? Arrange to do the work out of hours (as requested by the owner) and add it to the tenancy cost for next year? Or would the landlord be in his rights to order the shop to shut down whilst the necessary works are done? Does the landlord have to suck it up or does the tenant? Is there a middle ground I am not aware of?
I guess its not really my business as I am just subcontracted by the landlord but after the horrific events in London this morning, I'm interested to know where the landlord would stand on the issue, as peoples safety is paramount.
Thanks,
LBS
