1 The process

Usually known as the “right to manage” the process comes from a piece of legislation called the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act, 2002. This Act sets out the process whereby leaseholders who are dissatisfied with the management of their block can create and run their own dedicated Right to Manage (RTM) company. It also details the qualifying requirements and statutory procedures involved.

2 How Your Right to Manage can help

The statutory process must be complied with fully if you are to control the management of your flats successfully. However, following the process can be a time-consuming and onerous business. So if you want to reduce your monthly service charges, dismiss obstructive or negligent managing agents appointed by your landlord, and gain control of the management of your block but are worried about getting the process right, we can help.
