Applying to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber)
Notices
For some applications you will need to give notice to the other people involved. If this applies, the tribunal will not accept your application until you have given all the necessary notice and may ask for evidence that you have done so.
If you are in any doubt about whether you must give notice, you can ask your legal adviser (if you have one) for advice.
When the tribunal receives your application
When the tribunal receives your application, they must provide a copy of it, and any documents you provide with it, to whoever is named as the respondent.
Under the rules, if your application relates to service charges, administration charges or estate management charges, the tribunal must provide notice of it to the secretary of any recognised tenants’ association identified in the application and to any people (for example, other leaseholders) whose name and address they know and who they consider are likely to be significantly affected by the application.
The tribunal may give notice of the application to any other person they consider appropriate.
Any notice the tribunal gives to anyone other than the respondent must state that the person receiving it can apply to the tribunal to be included in the proceedings.
