Details the importance of the role played by the Lands Valuation Tribunal (LVT) in obtaining special dispensations under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. Argues that the LVT should no longer grant dispensations against the requirement to consult tenants regarding long-term agreements with contractors. Details the case of Auger v LB Camden (L143135) and cites this as an example of an incorrectly granted right to dispense with the need to consult leaseholders. Outlines the grounds on which the LVT should decide reasonableness in these circumstances. The extent to which the leaseholders' protection is undermined should also be given close attention.
