Part 5 - Regulation of Estate Management Section 83: Meaning of "administration charge"
Subsection (1) defines administration charge as an amount payable directly or indirectly: (a) for or in connection with the grant of approvals in connection with a relevant obligation, or applications for such approvals; (b) for or in connection with the provision of information or documents by or on behalf of an estate manager; (c) for or in connection with the sale or transfer of land to which a relevant obligation relates, or the creation of an interest in or right over that land; (d) in respect of a failure by the owner to make a payment to the estate manager by the due date under a relevant obligation; and (e) in connection with a breach (or alleged breach) of a relevant obligation.
	Subsection (2) makes it clear that the definition of an administration charge does not include an amount payable by a tenant of a dwelling in cases where a number of conditions are all met. The intention is to expressly exclude event fees, which are commonplace in the retirement sector.
	Subsection (3) allows an appropriate authority by regulations to make provision (including provision amending the Act) to amend the definition of "administration charge" while Subsection (4) makes it clear that a statutory instrument containing regulations under this Section (whether alone or with other provision) is subject to the affirmative procedure.
