“(1A) But “administration charge” does not include an amount payable by a tenant of a dwelling in a case where all of the following conditions are met—
(a) the tenant’s lease specifies that only a person who has attained a minimum age may occupy the dwelling;
(b) the amount is payable under a term of the tenant’s lease or is otherwise payable in connection with the tenant’s lease;
(c) the amount is payable if—
(i) the tenant’s lease is granted, assigned or terminated,
(ii) a lease of the dwelling which is inferior to the tenant’s lease is granted, assigned or terminated, or
(iii) there is a change in the person or persons occupying the dwelling;
(d) the amount is fixed or is calculated by a method determinable in advance;
(e) any other conditions specified in regulations made by the appropriate authority.”
Member's explanatory statement
This amendment would provide for “administration charge” in clause 81 to exclude “event fees” (which will generally be “fixed” service charges subject to the provisions regulating those charges inserted by Part 4).
