Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action tenants living in flats which are part of a divided house can take where the relationship between tenants and leaseholders has broken down.

Where relations between tenants and leaseholders break down, which cannot otherwise be resolved amicably or by alternative dispute resolution, leaseholders are protected by the terms of their lease and the rights, obligations and responsibilities therein. These may include requiring the landlord to enforce the terms of the lease or tenancy in accordance with any obligations that they may have to do so.
