UK Landlord Forum / Life

HI.
I live in a property manged my agency.
On Monday I received call from agency saying that my neighbour will be doing some work in his property.
And in the future if my neighbour will need to put some steel in his property, he will book a hotel for us, as access to my property will be needed. But agency said to me not to be worry as if it happen it will in months future.

On Tuesday I came back from work and my garden was damaged, fences were down, there was digging. I called agency to find what was going on.
Guy(not manger) from agency did not know anything. I emailed him film.

On Wednesday nobody was picking up calls from me (they have phone number recognition system)

On Thursday agency called me and was saying that they were informed by my neighbour`s work(that is also owner of my property - I was told about it that day) but they were not told that it would be in my garden. My neighbour will be doing extension in his house and my (his) at the same time.
I was not aware of that. It is completely demolished
Please it in link    https://we.tl/t-NnaJE3Wyos
 
It is his property but he is renting it out and I live there.
Is it legal or what shell i do.

You can decline to allow access if you wish. You have exclusive possession and the right to quiet enjoyment of the property and if they ignore you, you can sue for tresspass and harassment, and/or get a court injunction to stop them.

An alternative would be to negotiate low or free rent for the duration of the works if you can put up with the disturbance.

They have already stared their work. Garden is demolished already without my acceptance and informing me before.
Can sue them to court for compensation? And would be the process of doing it and maximum compensation?

You should tell the neighbour that while you are a tenant, you have a right to exclusive access to the property that you are letting and that you do not wish them to continue work and would like them to return what is, currently, "your" garden to the state it was before the work was commenced.

You might suggest that they take some legal advice in order to reduce or minimise any claim for compensation for breaching your rights as a tenant which has resulted in a massive reduction in utility, and has prevented you from occupying part of your premesis. This is possibly a criminal offence (s2, Protection from Eviction Act 1977) and legal advice is strongly recommended.

I can't imagine your landlord taking this well, but, other than accepting the situation, I'm not sure what else you can do. If you don't object, any claim for compensation might be impacted.
