Right to Manage – is a breach of the statutory framework fatal?
The right to manage is simple in concept but unfortunately complex in its application as there are a lot of procedural hurdles that participating flat owners can fall at and this can lead to litigation as of course their landlord needs to be sure whether management will validly vest. Consequently there are a huge number of cases taken by landlords challenging the validity of claims which some might find surprising.
Right to Manage
The Right to Manage (RTM) was introduced in 2002 giving flat owners a no fault right to collectively take over the management functions in respect of their building.
Leaseholders, acting via an RTM company, can take control of services, repairs, maintenance, improvements, and insurance in respect of their building.
