Frequently Asked Questions
My landlord is going to do a lot of work to my building. Does he have to consult me before the work starts?
Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 requires the landlord to consult the leaseholders before carrying out major works which will cost any individual leaseholder more than £250. If consultation is not undertaken the landlord cannot recover more than £250 from any individual leaseholder towards the cost of the works unless the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT) has dispensed with the requirement to consult.
