Car park access issue for apartment

Jmc25

On the tenant v owner thing I think it's common sense and probably just easier to deal with the tenant for some issues. That seemed to be the case in a development where I owned an apartment. For things like pest control, bins, general maintenance etc the managing agent would deal with a tenant as they would with an owner.

It's efficient and just polite to recognise tenants have a stake in the development (more so in my experience than some landlords who have not set foot in the development in years).

I did also live in another development (as a renter as opposed to owner) and the managing agent would absolutely not deal with a tenant even if the roof was caving in. The attitude was really condescending and rude, and needless really.

Similarly penalising a tenant (who the management company explicitly refuse to recognise as a stakeholder in the development for other issues) for their landlords non payment of fees is unfair and somewhat counterproductive. The tenant may end up moving out as a result of being denied services in a development - a significant ordeal for them personally - on the off chance that having to find new tenants who will put up with the lack of services (easily done in the current market) might slightly inconvenience the owner.
