ladidalimey Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi, I am a non-resident lessee of a flat which is rented out. The block of 20 flats has a management company (ltd) which is run by volunteer resident lessees. They have just set a two tier maintenance (service) charge. One level for resident lessees (lower monthly charge) and one level for non-resident lessees (higher monthly charge). The proposal was voted in by a majority at the annual AGM. My question is, are they within their rights to do this? Regards L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPEL Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Were you invited to the meeting, was there a quorum, what're the company's decision making powers and what's the justification behind the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Yes I was invited, yes there was a quorum. The company is a limited company charged with the management of the block. I don't have details of the remit, I'm not sure where to look. This new measure was brought about after a general increase in service charge was agreed due to increased cost of heating oil, which I fully support. They gave no justification for this two tier implementation except that tenants in general are less responsible and cause more problems than residents do. I don't think there is a monetary justifacation, Regards L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPEL Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Sounds like your being unfairly penalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Dewsberry Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Don't think i would bee agreeing to that at all! LL tend to take far more care of prop than Owner/Leesee occ in my experience so would argue the opposite unless they have some specific costs itemised.
