Q & A
publication date: May 22, 2007
A disabled lessee recently asked for a stair lift to be installed in the block. We agreed because we felt bound to do so under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA). We are now responsible for the maintenance of that stair lift. Can we increase that lessees’ service charges to take account of the additional maintenance involved?
