philipjm Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Dear all Any thoughts on how to calculate compensation to a tenant for loss of water supply? The heating is electric so no probs there, but they have NO COLD OR HOT water. The whole supply is dead. Its been off since yesterday and wont be back on til Thursday....its a pumping system installed in a block so there is no way of getting them water....just need a rough idea of how much to give back...100% of rent for the affected period...50%...more than 100%?!?!?!?! Any advice appreciated. Many thanks Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPEL Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 If you have to go down this route, 25% reduction for each day's loss of supply. However, when they take on the property they take on many liabilities similar to that of owner-occupiers.IE grin & bare it for a while. Were you responsible for loss of and re-provision of the supply as sounds like something you had no control over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Dewsberry Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yep ...no problem here ...side with the Tenant and get them to help fight the "master leasholder" and handover to the T whatever is handed to you ......100% of whatever it may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
