Reply to Service charge debtor still collecting rent!

by Macromia

If you mean that the lease states that service charges are "reserved as rent", that doesn't make a lot of difference but might affect the length of time that you have available to take the defaulters to court if it comes to that (and there may be other legal considerations)....

by flyingfreehold

I dont see how an RTM can agree a deed of variation if it does not the legal capacity to bind the freeholder.
