Detail of outcome
This is the full government response to the consultation related to proposed secondary legislation under section 29A Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 - Tenants바카라 사이트™ Associations: power to request information about tenants.
New ways to make it easier for leaseholders to come together and form recognised tenant associations will make it quicker and easier to gain official recognition of a residents바카라 사이트™ association. This will help leaseholders enforce their collective rights more effectively and scrutinise the management and services in their development more closely.
The new measures will:
-
require landlords to disclose contact details of consenting qualifying leaseholders to the secretary of a residents바카라 사이트™ association
-
reduce the membership threshold required to form a recognised tenants바카라 사이트™ association to 50% of eligible leaseholders
The publication also responds to the 2015 coalition government discussion paper Residential leasehold and recognised tenants바카라 사이트™ associations - non statutory guidelines. This sought views on the membership threshold and other rules concerning recognised tenants바카라 사이트™ associations, as set out in non-statutory guidance.
