What is Right to Manage (RTM)?

The Right to Manage (RTM) is a provision under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 that allows leaseholders to take control of the management of their building.

✅ No Fault Required – You don’t need to prove poor management by the current landlord.

✅ Cost-Effective Solution – No need for expensive legal disputes.

✅ More Control – Leaseholders can choose how their property is managed.

By forming an RTM company, leaseholders gain direct control over:

✔ Service charges

✔ Building maintenance

✔ Insurance

✔ Contractors and repairs

Who Can Apply for the Right to Manage?

To qualify for RTM, your property must meet the following criteria:

✔ The building must contain at least two flats.

✔ At least 50% of leaseholders in the building must agree to RTM.

✔ The leaseholders must hold long leases (typically over 21 years).

✔ The building must be self-contained or part of a larger block with distinct management.

If your building qualifies, you can start the Right to Manage process and take control of your property’s upkeep.

Steps to Exercising the Right to Manage

If you decide to pursue the Right to Manage, here’s how the process works:

1. Form an RTM Company

Leaseholders must set up a Right to Manage Company and register it with Companies House.

2. Inform Leaseholders & Gather Support

At least 50% of leaseholders must agree to proceed with the RTM claim.

3. Serve a Formal RTM Notice

A legal notice of claim is sent to the current managing agent or landlord.

4. Transition to New Management

After a set period, control of the building’s management is transferred to the RTM company.
