Audience
Any property manager dealing with residential leasehold property
Description
Property managers dealing with leasehold properties will often be faced with situations where a leaseholder has asked for permission to carry out work to their flat, or to sub-let the flat to another person, or even for permission to have an animal in the property. They will also have to deal with cases where a leaseholder has not asked for permission but has just gone ahead and done something forbidden by their lease. Knowing when permission is required and the basis for giving or refusing consent is an important part of residential leasehold management.
