Following a bad damp problem in one bedroom of a flat that I rent out, it appears that a flat roof needs repairing. My tenants are being very reasonable about the problem but the room cannot be used until the roof is sorted out. Of course, it will take some time to get quotes and get the work done but in the meantime, I do not feel that I should be charging full rent and my tenants have asked for a rent rebate for the duration of the repairs until the room is usable again.
My question is, what amount of rebate is reasonable in these circumstances? They have suggested a 40% rebate.
I would be interested to hear suggestions from anyone who has been in a similar situation.
