520 _aReports on "Schilling v Canary Riverside Development" (Leasehold Valuation Tribunal, 3 May 2005,), a landmark Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT) case in which the tenants of residential blocks successfully disputed their landlord's claim to recover legal fees under the service charge provisions of the lease. The LVT held that if a tenant's liability were unclear under a lease then the wording would be construed against the landlord. Concludes that clear lease terms are required for landlords to recover sums through service charges and residential landlords face particular difficulties in recovering their legal costs as part of the service charge.
