No accommodation costs - 2002 - Estates Gazette (0239) 28 September 2002, 149(1) .

A Court of Appeal ruling on the ambit of a service charge provision will affect landlords and tenants in residential and commercial sectors alike. In the case Gilje v Charlgrove Securities Ltd, it was held that, in the absence of a clear provision for recovering money from a tenant, the landlord was not entitled to recover the notional costs of providing a flat for a resident caretaker.
