LON/00AE/LSC/2018/0143 · service charges · Brent · decided 11 Mar 2019
The tribunal found the leaseholder liable for a 1/77 share of estate-wide costs and 1/35 of internal cleaning, electrical and communal electricity costs, reduced cleaning costs by 10% for failing to meet a reasonable standard, and made a section 20C order so the landlord's tribunal costs cannot be passed to the service charge.
