Landlords Obligations

Managing a block of flats or a private residential estate is very different from letting a single property. It needs specialist knowledge of leases, service charges and complex legislation, and many landlords, freeholders and RMCs find it hard to keep up.

We make sure every building we manage is fully compliant with the law, as well as well maintained and financially secure.

Key areas of responsibility

As a landlord, freeholder or RMC director, you are legally responsible for:

  • Fulfilling lease obligations relating to maintenance and management
  • Accounting for service charge and reserve fund income and expenditure
  • Complying with statutory requirements covering housing, safety, equality and property law

Key legislation

Landlord & Tenant Acts 1985 and 1987Service charges, repairs and consultation procedures.
Commonhold & Leasehold Reform Act 2002Rules for management, consultation and leaseholder rights.
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005Fire risk assessments and ongoing fire safety management.
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and Management Regulations 1999Apply to communal areas in all blocks.
Control of Asbestos RegulationsAsbestos management plans for older buildings.
Equality Act 2010Fair treatment and accessibility in communal areas.
Construction (Design & Management) RegulationsApply to major works and refurbishments.

This is not a complete list, but it shows the complexity of the legal framework landlords and RMCs must comply with.
