Setting up the right to manage
Ending the right to manage
There is no time limit for the right to manage. It will continue until it is terminated.
It could be terminated:
- by agreement with the landlord – if both the right to manage company and the landlord agree, the landlord can take back management responsibility
- if the right to manage company is wound up, is taken into receivership, goes into voluntary insolvency or is struck off – in this case the management responsibility is returned to the landlord
- if the tribunal appoints a manager – any of the leaseholders or the landlord could apply for this, in certain circumstances where the right to manage company is not carrying out its responsibilities correctly
If the right to manage is terminated for any reason, it’s not possible to apply again for 4 years, unless you apply to the tribunal and they decide that this exclusion is unreasonable in your circumstances.
