What's the use
Article Abstract:
User covenants must be in the interest of both landlords and tenants, if they are not well considered both sides may lose out financially. A landlord may not refuse a tenant the right to change the type of business carried out at a property if the decision is considered to be unreasonable. In some cases the lease defines what business is allowed at a property but if only a few uses are permitted the rental value will fall. The tenant should follow Town and Country Planning laws and will require the landlords consent before making any applications to alter the building or its use.

Paper tigers
Article Abstract:
Physical alterations to a building deemed as necessary by a landlord are covered in the United Kingdom landlord and tenant legislation. The alterations covenant allows the landlord to make commercially viable alterations which must be seen as a reasonable improvement to building. A tenant can challenge the landlord if approval for improvements is not given, and in some cases the tenant may be awarded damages. There are other statues which also affect the landlords rights to make alterations such as the Fire Precautions Act 1971.
