UK tenants may receive termination compensation despite intention to move

One of the circumstances in which a UK tenant has a right to compensation for disturbance, loss of goodwill, or moving expenses, is when the tenant serves a request for a new tenancy and the landlord serves a counter notice denying the request on the grounds that he intends to demolish or reconstruct the premises. According to workplacelaw.net, a recent court decision indicates that a tenant’s right to compensation will not be negatively affected even if he has no genuine intention to remain in the premises when he serves the request for a new tenancy on the landlord.
