Section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 allows a leaseholder to apply to a tribunal asking it to appoint an alternative property manager if there has been a significant failure by a managing agent or landlord.

I otherwise refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 85213 on 4 November 2025.
