Right to Manage: a guide for landlords
Disputing the claim
You can dispute the claim by serving a counter-notice to the Right to Manage (RTM) company. In it, you must give reasons why you think the company isn鈥檛 entitled to manage the building.
You can dispute the claim if you think:
- the building doesn鈥檛 qualify
- the RTM company doesn鈥檛 comply with the legal requirements
- the RTM company members don鈥檛 represent half the flats in the building
You can鈥檛 dispute the claim for any other reason.
Leasehold Valuation Tribunal
If the members of the RTM company think you鈥檙e wrong, the company must apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT) within 2 months of the date of the counter-notice. The LVT will then decide if the RTM company can manage the building.
