Depending on the extent of the repair work to the property the tenant can be asked by the landlord to move to alternative accommodation. If the tenant refuses to leave the property, then the landlord can force them to leave the accommodation by evicting them, or seeking a court order. However, if the tenancy has not ended, then the tenant can try to claim back the alternative accommodation costs from the landlord.
