I've been trying to find this info out so hopefully someone will be able to at least point me in the right direction.
The property management company looking after the building and grounds that my mother has a flat in is asking all the lease holders to pay for part of a tree that has fallen to be removed.
It has also damaged a fence to an adjoining property and they want extra money from the leaseholders for this also!
They might be in their rights but there is a hefty management fee in place which I would have assumed would cover things like this!
As building insurance in this case is the responsibility of the landlord and not the lease holders as per the wording in their contracts, should the lease holders have to pay for tree removal?
Should not the landlord have insurance to cover this type of thing just like the rest of us?
I have read on a tree companies website that the owner of the tree is responsible!
I also read if fallen due to negligence if it was left diseased or decaying etc.
The garden is maintain by the management company which is paid for out of the management fees they charge!
As the leaseholders don't own the land and have nothing in writing that apart from use of the garden are the management taking the pee?
Thanx for any info.
