Property managers dealing with leasehold properties will often be faced with situations
where a leaseholder has asked for permission to carry out work to their flat, or to sub-let
the flat to another person, or even for permission to have an animal in the property. They
will also have to deal with cases where a leaseholder has not asked for permission but has
just gone ahead and done something forbidden by their lease. Knowing when permission
is required and the basis for giving or refusing consent is an important part of residential
leasehold management.
