Can freeholder refuse to sublet to Council

[ram]

If people cannot pay solicitors for forfeiture,
then how would they deal with future breaches?

WE CAN'T.

Can you all apply as a group to LVT for change in the Covenants
you agree to change and find probono sol/ or students of a Law
School? .

They wont pay to change the lease, as it COSTS MONEY for solicitors !
It is noted the lease is defective, they all agree on that point.

Or can you all become self litigants? I will watch this space.

I wil have to be the "Bad boy", and take action myself, but I
have a "Cunning Plan" up my sleve, but cannot divulge here.

So write a letter to the flat owner refusing consent for a sublet to Council giving reason as having council tenants living in the block may cause loss of capital value for every flat.

1) he has not asked to sub-let, and wont, because he sublet last year,
been empty for a while.

2 ) But they are not council tenants, legaly, they are "homeless" people,
but "who" they are is only one on the forseeable problems, as the next
will be constant changes of sub-tenants, every 3 weeks, or 3 months,
or every 3 days ?, and they can get furniture from the council though !

and yes, may devalue the flats, but if no one is selling, then there
is no financial loss, but i would not wish to defend "capital value" in
a court room, thank you ! only the wishes of the majority to to say
no to sub letting to the council.

And have you yet asked who the undertenant( not the occupant) would be, to see if it is an incorporated body, and barred under the lease?

And have you yet asked who the undertenant( not the occupant) would be, to see if it is an incorporated body, and barred under the lease?

we can ask, and we don't expect a reply, and have not received a
reply, as it's too soon yet, to get one.

On another point.

As stated on here, the lessee pays the legal costs to consider an
application to sub let, but what if the lessee does not ask for
permission, are we then stuffed and can't get back our legal fees
beause he did not officialy ask, or request, or apply ?

Or is it that investigations were carried out on the verbal comments
of the lessee ? and we incurred legal costs to quantify our lease.
LHA ?

If the intention to let is not baseless, then you could ask and refer to that initial discussion and explain quoting the lease that it is the freeholders view that the lease intends to let solely to individuals.

It is therefore unlikely that permission will be granted, however without prejudice to the terms of the lease if there is an intention to let, that any proposal is submitted at the earliest date and not within 3 weeks of the proposed date of under letting. Full details of the under tenant and the proposed letting and occupation should be included.

If the intention to let is not baseless
