LON/00AY/LSC/2018/0233 · service charges · Lambeth · decided 18 Jun 2019
figures not yet checkedThe tribunal found that the lease definition of the Building covers all three structures, held that some canopy roof, block repair and 2016/17 block cleaning charges were not payable or were reduced, found the estate electricity charge reasonable, and decided that replacing the zinc roof with GRP would breach the landlord's covenant and so was not payable.
