What decisions can be made under the tenement management scheme?
Any decisions made under the TMS are known as ‘scheme decisions’. Unless the building’s title deeds say otherwise, flat owners can use the rules set out in the TMS to make scheme decisions about: • carrying out maintenance work, including repairs and replacements, cleaning, painting, gardening and other day-to-day tasks • appointing or dismissing a property manager or factor to run your building • delegating power to a manager to inspect the building or make decisions to carry out maintenance • arranging inspections of the building to decide whether maintenance work is required • arranging insurance for common areas • authorising any maintenance of scheme property already carried out by an owner • installing a new door entry system • excusing an owner from paying a share in maintenance costs • changing or taking back any previous scheme decisions.
