Access to roof

Probably to prevent some idiot falling off and making a claim also.Isn't that only the case if the garage is separate from the rest of the property.
Really! I could list more than 10 good reasons why someone would want access to a flat roof.maninthestreet wrote: »Please do tell us
I am curious too. Who on earth would want access to the flat roof?! And why?
As someone said earlier; its probably to stop someone falling off.0 -
BBQs are an excellent reason to not allow access to the roof. Why would a LL want to let tenants damage a flat roof by tramping around and possibly burning holes in it? There is also the problem of chasing rent from tenants who have drunkenly toppled over the edge.Party location, BBQ or a quiet area to sun bath naked.0 -
I can think of a lot of reasons why a tenant might want access. None of them are compelling if the landlord doesn't want them to have access, though.0

.....followed by a compensation claim after said tenant had drunkenly tumbled off the roof...:cool:
In my last house I used to watch tenants renting the place sitting there at intervals on that flat roof dangling their legs over the edge of the roof:eek:
There was quite a few times, to my knowledge, when they were taking risk with their safety and I also felt sorry for the landlord (ie because of people tramping around all over a roof that wasn't designed for that at all).0 -
