Limitation of administration charges - costs of proceedings
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (formerly DCLG) has published guidance on changes to the Housing and Planning Act 2016 and the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 that empower Courts and Tribunals to restrict a landlord’s ability to claim costs for legal proceedings as an “administration charge” from a leaseholder. These changes came into force on 6 April 2017. The MHCLG guidance outlines the proceedings in which the new regulations apply and how they impact landlords and leaseholders.
