LON/00AJ/LSC/2024/0338 · service charges · Ealing · decided 24 Mar 2025
The Tribunal decided that the administration charges claimed from the leaseholder for late payment and debt collection were not reasonable and are not payable, because demands were not sent to her nominated address and she was not given accounts in time to scrutinise them, and it made an order under section 20C so the landlord's tribunal costs cannot be passed through the service charge.
