Natasha Dzameh, instructed by Lucy Mills at Gregg Latchams Limited, was successful in a rolled up hearing of her client’s application for permission to appeal and the appeal before His Honour Judge Denyer QC. This case concerned the liability of a non-resident tenant, who was also a director of the landlord management company, for service charges.
The Service Charges (Consultation Requirements) (England) Regulations 2003 and section 20(3) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 were of particular importance. Natasha argued that there had been an error of fact, an error of law and serious procedural irregularity. This case reminds landlords of the importance of complying with the relevant legislation and dealing with their claim in the appropriate forum.
