Landlord and Tenant
Landlord and Tenant – Residential
For advice on our surveys in connection with short term leases and periodic tenancies click here.
In residential blocks of flats landlords and leaseholders can easily develop mutual mistrust through lack of communication and consultation over such matters as repairs, improvements and service charges.
A variety of laws have been enacted over the last two decades gradually increasing the rights of leaseholders in various ways.
- To obtain satisfactory management information about the use of service charges.
- To limit the amount of service charges.
- To appointment a manager where the landlord’s management of the building fails to meet objective standards.
- To buy the freehold of the block from the landlord where certain criteria are met.
