A Bill to make provision about the definition of qualifying tenants for the purposes of claiming a right to manage; to reduce the proportion of qualifying tenants required to give notice of a claim to acquire a right to manage; to establish a duty on freeholders to assist a Right to Manage company in establishing contact with leaseholders within the freeholder’s property; to make provision about establishing a presumption in favour of a right to manage in certain circumstances before the First Tier Tribunal; to require the Secretary of State to review procedures for converting leasehold property into common hold property; and for connected purposes.
This Bill makes it easier for leaseholders to obtain the right to manage their building. It defines who counts as a qualifying tenant, reduces the number needed to trigger a claim, and requires freeholders to help the RTM company contact leaseholders. It also sets out a possible presumption in favour of the right to manage in certain circumstances before the First-tier Tribunal and asks for a review of commonhold conversion procedures.
Currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If progressed, it would move to committee stage for detailed scrutiny.
