That's awful - so co-freeholders are effectively stuck if they're stuck with an absent co-freeholder. That's infuriating. It'll be interesting to see if the proposed reforms will provide a way out for that situation.
A block I'm working with at the moment is unable to pursue RTM because they've got 25% commercial, and we looked into appointing a manager. As you say, world of pain. We've decided to wait until (if) the reforms come in.
Looked at this recently. You can't. Not least because section 146 notices only apply where there's a proviso for re-entry, and that only applies to their obligations as a tenant, not their obligations as co-landlord.
Edited to add: I'm involved in a similar case to grams' at the moment. The only way out of the impasse seems to me to apply under the 1987 Act for the appointment of a manager. Which is a whole world of pain.
