“In section 24(2) of the LTA 1987 (grounds for appointment of manager)—

(a) omit the ‘or’ at the end of paragraph (ac);

(b) after paragraph (ac) insert—

‘(ad) where the tribunal is satisfied—

(i) that any relevant person has breached regulations under section (Leasehold and estate management: redress schemes)(1) of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 (requirement to join redress scheme), and

(ii) that it is just and convenient to make the order in all the circumstances of the case;’”.—(Lee Rowley.)

This new clause, to be inserted after NC8, would provide for a breach of regulations under the new Part after Part 4 (see NC15) to be grounds for the appointment of a manager under section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987.

Brought up, read the First and Second time, and added to the Bill.
