figures not yet checkedThe tribunal found the service charges not payable because the demands did not give the landlord's proper address as section 47 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 requires, and it also held the insurance, management fee, interest and drain and gutter charges and the administration charges not payable under the lease, and made an order that the landlord cannot recover its tribunal costs through the service charge.
