Am a Leaseholder who is also the landlord of a tenant for the same property and looking for some assistance please. The Landlord service provider is trying to back-bill for a period going back to 2018 for community electricity charges which they have, in turn, just received from the energy supplier. It stems from a misunderstanding between themselves and the energy supplier for a meter which wasn’t read for a number of years.
It was my understanding of Section 20B of the Landlord and Tenants Act 1985, that they can’t back-bill for costs they have incurred over 18 months from the the date they are trying to recover from. Has anyone got a similar experience or indeed view of this?
Thanks if you can advise.
