Hi geoexpat,
Just moved to hong kong and signed a lease 3 months ago. My floor is the only floor with balcony, and i have just been notified by elderly neighbour that all balconies on our floor must be removed,take out sliding doors etc..(government dept order). The balcony is 100 sq ft and used often. Builders will take a few weeks to removed starting July. It must occur by October.
Do i have any options??
1.Can i ask for lease to dissolved/ or rent reduction because non-disclosure?
2.Can i ask the landlord to provide temporary accommodation during building works?
3.Should they have disclosed this issue before we signed 12 month lease?
Thanks in advance.
