If your lease requires you to obtain consent prior to carrying out an alteration to the property, your landlord may be able to charge a reasonable administration charge.
Any administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of leaseholders’ rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is not payable.
