Thank you Gordon999, another good point.

If I were involved in the provision of fuel and light I would add the cost to the monthly rental.

The flat’s hot water system is prepay with the G6 monitor and payment unit being inside the flat. The prepayment card is registered...

It used to be thought that in the context of "alienation" (subletting, assigning and the like) "possession" and "occupation" were two different things. Without going...

Most leasehold flats have the same restriction as yours about not sharing possession and yes, it does exclude you from taking in lodgers/boarders. In my opinion, you would be hard pressed to find a leasehold flat that stated you could share possession with the freeholder's permission.

Destroyed by Fire, freeholders Dragging Feet

wotsitallabout

Hello all.

The fire in November rendered the house uninhabitable and it seems that the freeholders Camden, are doing little or nothing in some seven months.

You should be including the cost of heating inside the rent. Its just another cost like annual service charge or insurance cost which are paid by you.

So if your flat rent is £150 per week and you pay £11 per week for heating , you should be asking for £162 per week rent .

I sent the freeholder the tenancy agreement and notification on 30th March 2011. I am now surprised to receive a demand...

The grounds for commencing forfeiture proceedings start if the ground rent arrears exceed £350 and owing for 3 years.
