The story is not unusual, although there may be variants to the theme. It could become worse, the leaseholder could apply to the FTT, the agent and solicitors would rack up further costs and as you would expect the FTT is likely to decide that the costs are unreasonable. Unfortunately the FTT does...

Reply to S146 manipulation

by AndrewDod

If a freeholder incurs costs that a court does not say are recoverable from D, nor are they recoverable under the lease, then FH bears those costs out of their own pocket, or claims them from the "crook" (D). No reason other lessees should pay.
