Ending rent early.

A good relationship works both ways and now the landlord isn't being good at all. Just tell the landlord they cannot replace the bathroom unless you have an early surrender. Did the landlord give you a reference or have you bought a property? If you are worried about your deposit then take photos - when do new tenants move in?0

I might suggest to the LL that in exchange for allowing access to do the bathroom works you won't do any cleaning and that your full deposit is returned - even if you were to leave the place spotless the work will create mess that the LL will have to pay to clean up anyway.0

This is a great idea.0 -
If the bathroom renovation renders the property uninhabitable during the work period, as it presumably does, unless there is a 2nd bath or shower room, then you can request that the LL provides alternative accommodation up until the end of your tenancy.
She is trying it on here and you need to stick to your guns: no access for renovation without early surrender.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Outcome today was moving it forward to us handing the property over on 24th May, so a week early and a weeks less rent for us to pay for no real reason. It's a compromise we are happy with. Thanks for your words of wisdom.0
