Despite being heavily regulated by statute, the inherent conflict between the interests of landlords and tenants has led it to be a heavily litigated area. This book provides an introduction to residential service charges with an overview of the matters that need to be considered when dealing with service charge disputes. It also provides insight into what should be included within a service charge clause both to ensure recovery of sums due and avoid disputes.
