Leaseholder neighbour has breached terms of his tenancy; who to enforce?

11-05-2021, 19:29 PM

My upstair's neighbour's lease requires him to provide "carpets, or such other suitable floor coverings" and also has a "nuisance" clause. He has had his flat tiled. I am now being driven nuts by noise from above: something as innocent as a chair being moved is torturing me, and so far as I can see, the tenant is just living his life.

Both parties are leaseholders with a shared ownership housing association being the freeholder. There is also the added complication that the owner has sublet the flat, and there's a tenant in there. Every movement results in impact noise transmission, and I'm going round the bend.

Does anyone know how I can get the terms of my neighbour's lease enforced? Legally, who, or what, can compel my tenant to remove the tiles again?

Any insights would be truly welcomed!

Direct deed of Covenant

Hi there,
I am a tenant freeholder in a Victorian property of 2 x maisonettes.
The other freeholder has let his property under a local authority “private rental scheme” which includes a free of charge tenancy agreement.

Thanks JP
i was really trying to get a handle on the breach of lease issue as the other freeholder is also a lessee so surely has to be bound by the covenants in the lease? I spoke with the gov dept (Lease) who declared it a stalemate but have read somewhere that the other freeholder can be added...

Buying flat with alterations prohibited by the lease

by g .
We are in the process of purchasing the ground floor flat in a Victorian row house. It turns out that there are alterations to the property that are not provided for in the lease which is causing problems with the purchase. The relevant facts are:
- The lease was made in 1987 with a term of 99 years

To follow up and bring this to a close, I can report a happy ending despite a difficult road. Regardless of the legal opinions shared here and confirmed with other solicitors that I’ve spoken with, my solicitor was not swayed in her position. I filed a complaint and escalated the matter but the firm...

ram - you may be the best managing agent in the country, I would not know but I would prefer recommendations from others instead of yourself.

You are wrong.
Most companies I help get back on track are 200 miles away. and managing a property, via the F.T.T. is financially unsustainable.

I see all these problems every day, almost identical to SHill, and nothng but these problems.
We all know what does Not work,...

If you were appointed a director at the s305 meeting, you should file the AP01 form at Companies House.
Without seeing the terms of the LPA, it is impossible to comment but the attorney is supposed to act in the best interests of the donor and it would be unusual for that to be extended to include...
