The Applicant made an application to the First-tier Tribunal Property Chamber (Residential Property) in January 2021 under section 27A of the Landlord and Tenant act 1985 for a determination as to whether service charge costs to be incurred for the years ending 31st July 2020 and 2021 were reasonable and payable.
