The Tribunal will appoint a new manager for a specified length of time such as 2 years. The Tribunal can go beyond the lease in terms of the powers they give the manager. For example, if the lease does not allow for the recovery of service charges in advance the Tribunal may actually permit the new manager to demand money in advance. It depends on the circumstances.
You are likely to require the services of a solicitor and a managing agent.
