I have uploaded a lease from a resident-led building. The board is dealing with: [describe the handover or live decision]. Please identify what this lease says the landlord, management company, board and leaseholder must each do.

Please:
1. Identify the parties, their roles and the clauses that allocate repair, insurance, services, charges, consent and access.
2. Quote the short relevant wording and give the clause and page.
3. Identify decisions the lease reserves to one party and functions that may have been delegated to a managing agent.
4. List the accounts, policies, contracts, notices, certificates, plans and decision records the lease refers to or requires.
5. Separate the lease from company articles, titles, the management agreement, law and operational practice.
6. Identify any missing document or role assumption that could reverse the answer.
7. Finish with a board action list containing: source to obtain, person responsible, decision required, evidence of completion and any point needing professional advice.

Keep checking: One lease may not represent every flat or the company's authority. Check the full document set and company records.

A clearer first pass

Put the document next to the board decision.

The lease does not run the building by itself. It gives the board a starting point for instructions, budgets, consent and the evidence it needs to keep.

01
Use the signed document
Start with the lease and the real question, not a generic policy answer.
02
Separate the layers
Keep the lease, current law and missing evidence distinct.
03
Keep the source open
Give the next person the clause, page and point that still needs judgment.

The result

A board that can explain why it decided.

Directors can keep the source, the missing evidence and the final human decision together, instead of relying on whoever remembers the last argument.

Try one live question

Take one board decision back to the governing document.

Use a repair, budget or consent question already on the agenda. Check whether every director can open the source and see what still belongs to the board.
