Leaseholder's responsibilities
Your responsibilities as a leaseholder will be fully determined by your lease.
Leases are often difficult to interpret so if you are unsure it would be wise to seek legal advice as contravening the terms of your lease could lead to you being sued by your landlord.
As a leaseholder you will be expected to keep the interior of your property in good repair and to pay a proportionate share of the costs of running the building in your service charges which is payable by the date determined by your lease.
Communal areas are usually required to be free of rubbish and personal belongings for example bikes etc – due to health and safety requirements.
As a leaseholder you are expected to behave in a neighbourly manner, and obtain the landlords consent when carrying out certain things like making alterations or subletting.
When making alterations you may also require building regulation approval.
Your landlord is required to ensure that the leaseholder complies with their responsibilities.
