Part 4 - Regulation of leasehold Section 61: Duty to publish administration charge schedules
Section 61 substitutes paragraph 4 of Schedule 11 of the 2002 Act Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 to create a new provision to require landlords to publish administration charge schedules. Subsection (a) omits existing paragraph 4 to Schedule 11 of the 2002 Act, while subsection (b) inserts a new paragraph 4A.
	Paragraph 4A(1) requires that a person must produce and publish an administration charge schedule in relation to a building if they are the landlord of one or more dwellings in that building.
	Paragraph 4A(2) defines an "administration charge schedule" as a document which sets out: (a) the administration charges the landlord considers to be payable by those tenants, and (b) for each charge, (i) its amount or, (ii) if it is not possible to determine its amount before it is payable, how the amount will be determined if it becomes payable.
	Paragraph 4A(3) allows the landlord to (a) revise its published administration charge schedule, and (b) if they do, the landlord must publish the revised schedule.
	Paragraph 4A(4) states that a landlord must provide a tenant with the administration charges schedule for the time being published in relation to their building.
	Paragraph 4A(5) allows an appropriate national authority (which is defined by Section 179 of the 2002 Act as the Secretary of State in England or Welsh Ministers for Wales) to make regulations as to (a) the meaning of "building" for the purpose of this paragraph; (b) the form an administration charge must make; (c) how an administration charge must be published; and (d) the content an administration charge schedule must have.
	Paragraph 4A(6) provides that an administration charge is payable by a tenant if (a) the amount appeared on the published administration charge schedule for the required period; or (b) the amount was determined in accordance with a method that appeared on the administration charge schedule for the specified period.
	Paragraph 4A(7) states that the "required period" is the period of 28 days ending with the day the administration charge is demanded to be paid.
	Paragraph 4B sets out the enforcement provisions of the duty to publish and administration charge schedule. New paragraph 4B (1) allows a tenant to make an application to the relevant tribunal on the grounds that the landlord has not complied with paragraph 4A, or regulations made under it.
	Paragraph 4B(2) gives the appropriate tribunal the power to make one or both of the following orders; (a) an order that the landlord comply with that order or regulations made under it before the end of the period 14 days beginning with the day after the date of the order and (b) an order that the landlord pay damages to the tenant. Paragraph 4B (3) states that the damages may not exceed £1000.
	Paragraph 4B(4) confers powers on the appropriate authority to amend the amount in subparagraph (3) by regulations if it considers it expedient to do so to reflect changes in the value of money.
	Paragraph 4B(5) sets out that the appropriate tribunal may not make an order under this paragraph if the landlord is (a) a local authority; (b) a National Park authority; (c) a new town corporation. Paragraph 4B (6) details that "local authority" and "new town corporation" have the same meanings as in Section 38 of the 1985 Act.
