QUESTION
My landlord is doing construction in my basement. Does he need my approval?
Asked on Aug 04th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
My lease specifically details that basement is within my rental business area. The construction is meant to build extra sewer lines from upstairs run through my basement. I have a Discount Store, which means my basement is filled with merchandise and personal equipments. I have no extra resources to relocate the merchandise for him to do construction. Besides, he doesn't have a NYC DOB permit to do the job in the basement. What are my options? Is this a breach of contract/lease?
