3 Harold Mews, 39 Harold Road, Cliftonville, Kent, CT9 2HS
CHI/29UN/LSC/2020/0088 · service charges · Thanet · decided 19 May 2021
The tribunal found the landlord's demands invalid because they were calculated on a basis not in line with the lease, so the County Court claim failed, while the £425 bin hire and legal fee charges were disallowed and the fire alarm works were found reasonable and payable when properly demanded.
