Maintenance and alterations to the residence
Moving out
If the tenant has made an alteration on the property during the tenancy, that improves the property, the tenant may claim remuneration at the end of the tenancy. Improvements is work that is considered more comprehensive than maintenance.
An example of an improvement is the installation of new equipment on the property that was not there before, for example a bathtub. Another example is an upgrade or modernization of the property, for example by installing new electrical facilities.
If it is unclear whether it is an improvement or not, the tenant cannot claim remuneration.
For the tenant to have a right to remuneration, the landlord must have given approval to alterations. If the tenant and the landlord have agreed that the alterations should not give a right to remuneration, the tenant cannot claim payment.
The size of the payment should be the financial benefit the landlord achieves following the improvements from the tenant.
