We have been tenants for around 20 years & recently the building has come under the C1 category. Some of the tenants haven’t been living here but paying the rent regularly.
The landlord is going behind our back and speaking with builders for redevelopment. At the same time, he has sent us a notice to evacuate because of the C1 category.
It’s very evident that he wants us out of the picture & keep the redevelopment benefits to himself.
My question is,
- can he legally do this?
- What steps do we need to take in order to prevent this? And what about tenants who are not currently living here?
- After preventing this, are we entitled to ownership post redevelopment?
- In case we decide to leave, what is the percentage split are we entitled to?
