Sheltered Housing: Property Management Companies

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans he has to (a) enable leaseholders in retirement housing developments to replace their managing agent without being required to pursue Right to Manage and (b) strengthen redress mechanisms available to leaseholders who wish to challenge their managing agent's conduct.

Answer

Section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 allows a leaseholder to apply to a tribunal asking it to appoint an alternative property manager if there has been a significant failure by a managing agent or landlord.

I otherwise refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 85213 on 4 November 2025.
