I live in a rented house ?

Hi i live in a rented house and today recieved a letter from the council for an application to carry out a detached dwelling-on land adjacent to my house. However to provide this house with a garden, the landlord wants to remove half the garden , the sheds and brick out-houses, which i use for all my storage needs (with having 5 children ) he never told us that he was going to do this and plans have been draw out. Some of the neighbours and of course me are against this idea, Where do me and my family stand and if this goes through how long will the application take? we have just signed the contract for another year, not being made aware of this till today ..

Unfortunately, you don't have much of a leg to stand on, since you are renting the property, the landlord has the right to do anything with the property that he wants to, UNLESS, the storage shed is part of your rent amount and in your lease. If it is included, then your landlord would be breaching the lease you just signed and you would be able to move out. You need to first read your lease cover to cover and see what it says. If he was simply allowing you to use the storage shed for free to be nice, then you can't really do much in this case.. then you will probably want to let your landlord know your concerns and begin looking for a more accomodating space for you and your children, since storage is definitely important when you have children, I agree to that and I only have one child. If your landlord is understanding, he will likely allow you out of your lease. Best Wishes!
Reply:I guess the landlord might be able to do what her wants. Check the small print in your contract.
Reply:Cupid is correct, unless it states in your tenancy agreement that you are allowed. IE: you paye for that area. he can do what he wants. And even if you do paye for it, If you disagree he can just give you your notice to leave, or wait till you are due to renue your tenancy and refuse you. (i know, im a landlord) All you can do is get the other neighbours together and contact the planners and object.
Reply:Not 100% sure where you stand with regards to your tenancy agreement, what i would recommend you do is get in contact with the council to find out how you and the other residence can petition against the new development, the more people who petition the better the chance you have of either slowing the process down or stopping it altogether.
