LON/00AH/LSC/2019/0149 · service charges · Croydon · decided 11 Dec 2019
The tribunal found the 2016 and 2017 service charge items payable as demanded, but held that the lease does not allow the landlord to keep a reserve fund, so the amount held must be refunded and offset against the leaseholder's sums due.
