Service charges:
summary of tenants’ rights and obligations
This summary, which briefly sets out your rights and obligations in relation
to variable service charges, must by law accompany a demand for service charges.
Unless a summary is sent to you with a demand, you may withhold the service charge.
The summary does not give a full interpretation of the law and if you are in any doubt
about your rights and obligations you should seek independent advice.
(1) Your lease sets out your obligations to pay service charges to your landlord in addition to your
rent. Service charges are amounts payable for services, repairs, maintenance, improvements,
insurance or the landlord’s costs of management, to the extent that the costs have been
reasonably incurred.
(2) You have the right to ask a leasehold valuation tribunal to determine whether you are liable
to pay service charges for services, repairs, maintenance, improvements, insurance or
management. You may make a request before or after you have paid the service charge.
If the tribunal determines that the service charge is payable, the tribunal may also determine:
• who should pay the service charge and who it should be paid to;
• the amount;
• the date it should be paid by; and
• how it should be paid.
(3) If your lease allows your landlord to recover costs incurred or that may be incurred in legal
proceedings as service charges, you may ask the court or tribunal, before which those
proceedings were brought, to rule that your landlord may not do so.
(4) Where you seek a determination from a leasehold valuation tribunal, you will have to pay an
application fee and, where the matter proceeds to a hearing, a hearing fee, unless you qualify
for a waiver or reduction. The total fees payable will not exceed £500, but making an application
may incur additional costs, such as professional fees, which you may also have to pay.
(5) A leasehold valuation tribunal has the power to award costs, not exceeding £500, against
a party to any proceedings where it dismisses a matter because it is frivolous, vexatious
1
or an abuse of process; or it considers a party has acted frivolously, vexatiously, abusively,
disruptively or unreasonably. The Upper Tribunal has similar powers when hearing an appeal
against a decision of a leasehold valuation tribunal.
(7) You have the right to apply to a leasehold valuation tribunal to ask it to determine whether your
lease should be varied on the grounds that it does not make satisfactory provision in respect of
the calculation of a service charge payable under the lease.
(8) You have the right to write to your landlord to request a written summary of the costs which
make up the service charges. The summary must:
• cover the last 12 month period used for making up the accounts relating to the service charge
ending no later than the date of your request, where the accounts are made up for 12 month
periods; or
• cover the 12 month period ending with the date of your request, where the accounts are not
made up for 12 month periods.
The summary must be given to you within one month of your request, or six months of the end
of the period to which the summary relates, whichever is the later.
(9) You have the right, within six months of receiving a written summary of costs, to require the
landlord to provide you with reasonable facilities to inspect the accounts, receipts and other
documents supporting the summary and for taking copies or extracts from them.
(10) You have the right to ask an accountant or surveyor to carry out an audit of the financial
management of the premises containing your dwelling, to establish the obligations of your
landlord and the extent to which the service charges you pay are being used efficiently. It
will depend on your circumstances whether you can exercise this right alone or only with the
CU-0618-0124
support of others living in the premises. You are strongly advised to seek independent advice
before exercising this right.
(11) Your lease may give your landlord a right of re-entry or forfeiture where you have failed to pay
charges which are properly due under the lease. However, to exercise this right, the landlord
must meet all the legal requirements and obtain a court order. A court order will only be granted
if you have admitted you are liable to pay the amount or it is finally determined by a court,
tribunal or by arbitration that the amount is due. The court has a wide discretion in granting
such an order and it will take into account all the circumstances of the case.

Administration charges:
summary of tenants’ rights and obligations
This summary, which briefly sets out your rights and obligations in relation to
administration charges, must by law accompany a demand for administration
charges. Unless a summary is sent to you with a demand, you may withhold the
administration charges. The summary does not give a full interpretation of the law
and if you are in any doubt about your rights and obligations you should seek
independent advice.
(1) An administration charge is an amount which may be payable by you as part of or in addition to
the rent directly or indirectly:
• for or in connection with the grant of an approval under your lease, or an application for
such approval;
• for or in connection with the provision of information or documents;
• in respect of your failure to make any payment under your lease; or
• in connection with a breach of a covenant or condition of your lease.
If you are liable to pay an administration charge, it is payable only to the extent that the amount
is reasonable.
(2) Any provision contained in a grant of a lease under the right to buy under Housing Act 1985,
which claims to allow the landlord to charge a sum for consent or approval, is void.
(3) You have the right to ask a leasehold valuation tribunal whether an administration charge is
payable. You may make a request before or after you have paid the administration charge. If the
tribunal determines the charge is payable, the tribunal may also determine:
• who should pay the administration charge and who it should be paid to;
• the amount;
• the date it should be paid by; and
• how it should be paid
1
(4) You have the right to apply to a leasehold valuation tribunal for an order varying the lease on
the grounds that any administration charge specified in the lease, or any formula specified in the
lease for calculating an administration charge is unreasonable.
(5) Where you seek a determination or order from the leasehold valuation tribunal, you will have
to pay an application fee and, where the matter proceeds to a hearing, hearing fee, unless you
qualify for a waiver or reduction. The total fees payable to the tribunal will not exceed £500, but
making an application may incur additional costs, such as professional costs, which you may
have to pay.
(6) A leasehold valuation tribunal has the power to award costs, not exceeding £500, against a
party to any proceedings where it dismisses a matter because it is frivolous, vexatious or
an abuse of process: or it considers that a party has acted frivolously, vexatiously, abusively
disruptively or unreasonably.
The Upper Tribunal have similar powers when hearing an appeal against a decision of a
leasehold valuation tribunal.
(7) Your lease may give your landlord a right of re-entry or forfeiture where you have failed to pay
charges which are properly due under the lease. However, to exercise the right, the landlord
must meet all the legal requirements and obtain a court order. A court order will only be granted
if you have admitted you are liable to pay the amount or it is finally determined by a court, a
tribunal or by arbitration that the amount is due. The court has a wide discretion in granting
such an order and it will take into account all the circumstances of the case.

Notes
These charges are applicable for work which is not covered by the management fee and/or do not
relate strictly to the management of the property. Where provision in the lease provides for alternative
charges for any of these services, the fees provided for in the lease will prevail.
1. Application to A2Dominion to consider matters outside of, or prohibited by, the lease, which will
require consideration, will be charged for prior to anything other than general advice being given. The
fee is payable whether or not consent or approval is given. Once general advice has been provided, no
further discussions will be entered into until the fee is paid.*
2. Costs may be waived if outstanding arrears are cleared in full within seven days of action. Charges for
calls, appointments at office or home visits are only levied in cases of frequent recurring debt.**
This schedule of administrative charges is intended to cover most requests and charges
A2Dominion may make, however it is not exhaustive and additional fees may be levied. In all
circumstances, A2Dominion will seek to keep its charges reasonable. Any fees for activities not
covered by the scheduled will either be made by comparison to this schedule or based on the
hourly fees in this schedule.
