Tenant Forces Landlord to Enforce Lease Covenants

A lessee wanted to refurbish her flat that involved heavy structural work that could possibly have damaged the building (i.e. more than usual refurbishments for which permission would have needed to be sought from the landlord and cannot be refused if reasonable). She was given permission by the landlord to do so. A neighbouring lessee objected saying the landlord had no right to give permission for such onerous work without the consent of all of the lessees and the Supreme Court agreed.
