Right to manage
In England and Wales, the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 provides a right for leaseholders to change the appointment of the management of their building to another provider, by setting up a special company to take over from the freeholder those rights of appointment of management of the building.[1] In the March 2015 case Triplerose Ltd v 90 Broomfield Road RTM Co Ltd,[citation needed] the Court of Appeal found in favour of Triplerose Ltd (freeholder) against 90 Broomfield Road (residents/lessees) in what was a landmark case.The legal obligation of the freeholder or previous management company is to pass forward any unspent funds.In practice, if these are less than £2,000, it may not be economic to pursue them through the courts, but ultimate determination can be made by a leasehold valuation tribunal.The landlord's votes are, in the first instance, determined according to the units they hold in the building, flats or non-residential parts.
