Keep the notice and the landlord's explanation together so an adviser can compare the proposed works with your tenancy documents.

1. Copy every page of the notice, its envelope and any covering email. Record when and how you received it.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Keep your tenancy agreement and any later changes. Record the start date from the documents rather than guessing.
Notes: ________________________________________

3. Save the landlord's description of the proposed works, plans, contractor correspondence and any proposed timetable supplied to you.
Notes: ________________________________________

4. Write down what the landlord has said about why you cannot remain during the work. Separate their statements from your own observations.
Notes: ________________________________________
