Deadlines for recovering your service charges
There are various types of service charges that landlords can recover from their tenants: lift maintenance costs, household waste collection tax (TEOM), minor repairs to the building, etc. The landlord must respect a certain time limit when requesting payment of these charges, which are normally regularised every year. In reality, the landlord has three years in which to do this from the date the charges are due, even after the tenant has left. However, the tenant is entitled to ask for the payment to be spread over 12 months. If the late payment is unjustified and causes damage to the tenant, the landlord may be ordered by the court to pay damages.
