Can a group of residents do their own communal cleaning and grounds maintenance?
Where we own the freehold, residents in apartments occasionally ask if they can take over the cleaning or grounds maintenance on their development from our contractor. We’ll usually give our permission if all residents agree to it. Notice will be served to the contractor to terminate their contract, which is usually 28 days, and our service charge account will be adjusted accordingly. We’ll continue to inspect the shared areas to ensure that high standards are met. If there is a dispute among residents, or the work is not being carried out to a reasonable standard, we may restart the contract. Please contact your residential services officer if you would like more information.
