Inhaltsangabe:

The Right to Manage (RTM) regime has become an increasingly popular mechanism for leaseholders seeking more autonomy over the management of their homes. However, the process is not without legal and practical complexity. A strict set of statutory requirements governs eligibility, company formation, notice, notice procedures, dispute resolution and handover of management functions, and there are numerous traps for the unwary.

This new book provides comprehensive, practical coverage of the RTM regime and sets out the relevant steps taken in the process when exercising the right. It identifies the relevant pitfalls, providing a user-friendly guide to effective navigation of the process.

Fully up to date, the book examines the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 which impacts the cost regime and eligibility criteria for qualifying buildings, providing a practical, accessible guide to the whole statutory process. The book also includes coverage of significant recent cases such as: Avon Freeholds Ltd v Cresta Court E RTM Co Ltd [2025] EWCA Civ 1016 (on the validity of notices); FirstPort Property Services Ltd v Settlers Court RTM Company Ltd [2022] UKSC 27 1 (on the extent of property subject to the right to manage); and 56 Westbourne Terrace RTM Company Limited v Polturak [2025] UKUT 88 (LC) (Upper Tribunal exercising the jurisdiction to vary long leases under section 35(2)(e) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, varying a lease to allow an RTM company to recover legal costs of service charge proceedings against defaulting leaseholders).
