Compensation in Case of Building Maintenance

The entire building is being scaffolded for structural repairs. As a result a retail space has closed and another is severely affected and will lose trading for weeks and consequently a loss of profits. The tenant is threatening me as landlord to claim for compensation. I would be wlling to give some rent relief but what if the tenant claims? Can I “go” the strata corporation? Owners have paid a fortune in special levies and now to possibly lose my rent seems very unfair.
