Daejan Investments Ltd v Benson and others

If a landlord under a residential long lease wants to carry out works (or enter into qualifying long term agreements) in respect of which he will require leaseholders to contribute to via their service charges, then, by s.20 Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the regulations made thereunder, he will not be allowed to recover more than £250 per tenant (in the case of works) or £100 per tenant (in the case of a qualifying long term agreement, as service contracts are called in this context)
