  • Here's a weird one.

    I've moved into a block which has a mix of communal and private land out front. The freeholder has turned his private land into a public car park - thus granting the public access to our communal area. This has led to all kinds of antisocial behaviour - people living in our bin area, drug deals, people pissing and shitting in our hallways, fly tipping, the lot.

    I'm wondering - does anyone know the point at which our rights as residents come up against his right to make money off the land as a freeholder? This place would be lovely if we could close the gate and slow down the antisocial behaviour a little.

    What does the lease say regarding use of the communal areas?

  • Bit late on this but the lease indicates the boundary between the communal areas and non-communal areas. But it doesn't indicate what those non-communal areas are. Looks like the attached.

    Should the lease define what those boundaries indicate?
