LEASEHOLD AND RECOGNISING TENANTS' ASSOCIATIONS

That this House supports the understanding that fairness requires change to the law and practice concerning the recognition of associations of residential leaseholders' associations, named in law as Tenants' Associations; understands that a respectable freeholder receiving a request for recognition would be pleased to grant recognition; suspects that some freeholders resist and make leaseholder organisation difficult because they anticipate lower profit; calls on the Government to withdraw or to suspend parliamentary consideration of S.I., 2018, No. 1043; and asks Ministers to convene a roundtable to work out provisions that would work and would make life better all-round for leaseholders and for responsible residential property owners.
