Types of disputes

Tribunals can decide a wide range of disputes, including:

disputes about the conditions and price of buying the freehold or extending a lease
disputes about who is responsible for paying a service charge, an administration charge or an estate management scheme charge, and whether the charge is reasonable
disputes relating to building insurance
whether it would be appropriate to appoint a new manager in a block of flats
whether a residential long lease (usually relating to flats) should be changed
disputes relating to the right to manage
disputes where your landlord believes you have broken the conditions of your lease (before the landlord serves a notice under section 146 of the Law of Property Act 1925)
whether to grant a ‘dispensation’, which would mean that your landlord does not have to keep to the consultation requirements under section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
