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!

you complain to the housing association, that upstairs is in breach of the lease, and you look forward to them enforcing the lease , which they a legally required to do ( incude the legaly bit ) and please advise when this incumberance will cease.

Resigning as RTM Director

by MrT2014

Hi,

After several years as a Director handling the admin for our small RTM I've had enough chasing the other two flat owners/directors who contribute very little and endlessly footdrag when stuff needs to be done. 90% of my time is spent sending reminder emails and I'm pretty much done...

There are at least 2 directors possibly 3 as per statement

.
AND there will be a minimum of 1 director if MrT2014 resigns, and...

I'm a leaseholder who has been researching all things lease related as to get a better understanding of the terms. I think I'm starting to get there but I am struggling with the phrasing in the covenant concerning alterations.

Here is my understanding thus far:

Thanks Lawcruncher 🙂

So does this seem like to you that this prohibiting everyone (including me), or is it more to protect my demise from another leaseholder or the freeholder, say, building a garage for their use in my demise?...

I suggest that you arrange a meeting of leaseholders and try to share the workload of managing the block. If you explain that you are trying to reduce the costs, it should be received well and you should receive a positive response. You should expect it to take longer than 1 or 2 hours a month and considerably...

How easy/difficult is it to set up a freehold management service?

by riva

I live in a share of freehold (block of 5 flats) and we are currently paying around 6k per flat for management/bills per annum. No concierge but there's a lift. It's an external management company that we outsource to. Thing is, I feel that they were coming up with rather expensive quotes and so I've...

Although you can resign #3, the Company cannot accept your resignation if the number of directors falls below the minimum number #2, so as an officer of the Company, you are obliged to act in the Company's best interests and ensure that someone else is appointed a director to maintain the required number...

I am actually holding fire on starting the lease extension process to see if the expected upcoming reforms (due...

Yes.

I am also unsure what is meant by "annexing"; perhaps "physically joining".

Nothing in the clause allows anyone to encroach on any land included in your demise.

I think the reference to use is to use as residential, not to the particular...
