RE: Notice of Rent increase and service charge from Family Mosaic

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me, how on Earth they asked us to pay £50 more (for service charge and rent) per month for one bed????
Do you agree with that? Can we do anything about that? Is anyone from law field, as that would be helpful??
I am not really in a mood to pay that amount of cash to cover the cost of that lovely reception and cleaning which I am not really happy about. Does anyone know what kind of rights do we have as I am firmly opposed to this idea.
Just to add, I am resident of Family Mosaic group.
Can we all write one letter together and show our disagreement??
Please let me know.

  • Hi, I’ve received the letter too. Not happy about it at all. Has anyone received the breakdown of the service charge for last year?? I still have not received one and now they have the cheek to up my service charge without any knowledge I where my money is going! I have requested the breakdown of cost for the service charge several times from FM but to no avail! I will take this up with them asap as this is NOT lawful.

  • Hi,

    I’m annoyed that they’re sending a letter with not even a month notice of the rent & service charge increase. I have no idea what they can and can’t do.

    I also have chased the neighborhood manager several times regarding the expenditure report for the service charges, but obviously there hasn’t been a response…. I also need to understand why the rent has gone up so much. There’s a reason why these apartments were purchased on a shared ownership mortgage. They can’t expect us to suddenly cough up this kind of money! On top of that, we also have the heating bill.

    I sent an email to the FM residents and proposed a meeting to discuss these matters and what the next steps are. It would be good if we could have one either Sunday or Monday evening.

    Please let me know.

  • The timing is awful, what are they thinking, completely unrealistic for residents to support these increases & the heating bill blunder!
