The Law Commission is proposing changes to make it
quicker and easier for leaseholders to take control of the day-to-day
management of their building. Currently, homeowners with long leases over flats
can acquire the ‘Right To Manage’ (RTM), which gives the homeowners, rather
than their landlord, responsibility for management functions relating to
services, repairs, maintenance and insurance. It is a ‘no-fault’ right, so
leaseholders can exercise it without having to prove mismanagement by their
landlord. However, the current system is seen by many as too technical, slow,
restrictive, uncertain and expensive. In response to these criticisms, the Law
Commission will be consulting on proposals to make the process more accessible,
simpler, quicker and less uncertain. Read more on 24housing.
