Service charges and rent assessment committee

If you find your annual service charge statement too high, or if you haven't received one, you can contact the Rent Assessment Committee as a social tenant. However, several new rules have been in effect since July 2021.

From now on, you must first inform your landlord in writing that you do not agree with the service charge statement (or the advance payment for gas, water and electricity).

You must then give your landlord three weeks to respond. If your landlord doesn't respond or refuses to negotiate, you can initiate the "Annual statement of service costs and utilities" procedure with the Rent Assessment Committee.
