trixie123 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thank you everyone for your comments. I am going to look at the lease again, but so far cannot see anything about sub-letting. I think i will take the advice from TT Parsons and write to the freeholder explaining the situation. thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Better to know the position and then tell the freehold reversioner (landlord) than not to know the position and then merely ask the freehold reversioner (landlord).

My question is, do I have to pay the subletting fee even though she has never paid any rent or service charge as I am the one who pays the service charge each year? Has anyone had any experience in this sort of issue? Seems to me as if someone is trying to give you agro because of you daughter . Has she got a lot of kids who are making noise or a barking dog or radio on or some thing / Some one has complained to lease holder or how would they know it was your daughter Thats one of the troubles with a flat always some one noisy or complaning about some thing i just keep away from them Edited February 6, 2020 by spider1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trixie123 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 hi spider 1. in reply to your comment, no, she is a student, no kids, pets or noise. i assume the landlord/freeholder thinks i am subletting because they send the bill to my home address which is different to the flat .
