Real estate podcast: service charge apportionments – making the rational choice

This episode, featuring Suzanne Gill and Ben Dunbar, examines two significant service charge cases that clarify what it means for a landlord to act “reasonably” when determining a tenant’s service charge proportion. Both cases challenge the common assumption that “reasonable” means objectively fair. Instead, the courts emphasised that landlords often have wide discretion – as long as their decisions fall within a range of rational decisions.
