Villa Extensions · Tenants
Can a tenant extend a rented villa?
Only with the landlord's written consent first, then the developer NOC and the building permit.
The short answer
Only with the landlord's written consent. A tenant needs the landlord's written consent before the developer NOC, then the developer NOC and the building permit from the authority for the area, the same as an owner. Structural Solutions prepares the drawings and calculations and applies once the landlord consent is in place.
