Many leaseholders from various developments managed by Rendall and Rittner have come together to voice their concerns over rising service charges, energy bills, poor management, and other practices that disrupt residents' quality of life and increase the risks to their investments.

Rendall and Rittner are so bad i moved out of a rented flat because of them. yes – not an owner – a tenant! crazy how bad they are.
this didn’t quite affect me (rather, my landlord) but these crooks (R&R) replaced a set of communal boilers for about £300k on the pretense they were old, unrepairable and needed replacing entirely. it turned out nothing was wrong, and, the supposed “new” boilers they fitted were not new at all, and older than the ones that were ripped out. absolute scammers.
that whole saga put me off ever owning a flat. fuck that.
We got rid of R&R as our maintenance company, did nothing since Covid, we talked for two years about replacing them. Should have done it much sooner than we did, shocking services company, absolutely shocking!!
I live in a building managed by them and thank God I’m just a tenant, because the problems they simply don’t want to fix are numerous and if I was a leaseholder, I would be really pissed off that I made that mistake to buy an apartment in a building managed by them.
For example, they use an external company that manages the bills for the heating and cooling charges and because the system is set up in a way that it can never be turned off completely by design, some people without modern self regulating temperature thermostats can basically be hit with bills that range between 200 to 6K per month and to add insult to injury, the contracted company is sometimes late with issuing those bills as the readings needs to be supplied by the people who live in the flats and they take their time to update the records, so those poor people will not even be able to know how much they are on the hook for. They are also having issues with maintenance of the building itself, like having broken buzzers that they’re constantly fixing and they constantly break down in a vicious cycle, they seem not to be able to manage their staff correctly, so sometimes the concierges are not manning the front desk 24/7 as they should be per contract, they’ve introduced paid parking right in front of the building, so most delivery drivers are scared that they would be hit by a ticket for just stopping for two minutes to drop off parcels or food deliveries to the residence of the building, and many many more issues that my fellow residence have brought up with R&R that have not been resolved for years.
I even think some people tried to organise themselves into a kind of a organisation to try and create a company to manage the property by themselves and get rid of R&, but since I’m just a tenant and I truly don’t care that much about the whole situation as I am considering looking for another building when my contract ends in a couple of months, I don’t know if they managed to succeed in that endeavour. I hope they do, as I’m sure that as owners, they will be much more inclined to manage the building as their own and not as the generous cash cow that the building currently is.
What is this post? OP linked 7, 5, and 2 year old articles. Without any cohesive post, idk wtf this is supposed to be. Where did leasholders supposedly “demand change”?
Weird spam, bro
