2 What is the Right to Manage? Introduced by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 Cheaper and simpler than enfranchisement?

4 RTM Companies A private company limited by guarantee - s.73(1) Whose articles of association state that its object, or one of its objects, is the acquisition and exercise of the right to manage the premises A company is not a RTM company in relation to premises if another company is already a RTM company in relation to the premises s.73(4) If the freehold of any premises is transferred to a company which is a RTM company in relation to the premises, or any premises containing or contained in the premises, it ceases to be a RTM company when the transfer is executed s.73(5) Membership of the RTM Company 2 categories of members Qualifying tenants of flats contained in the premises s.74(1)(a) Landlords under leases of the whole or any part of the premises from the date on which the right to manage is acquired Articles of Association The articles of association are fixed by regulations A provision of the articles of a RTM company has no effect to the extent that it is inconsistent with the regulations: s.74(5) RTM Companies (Model Articles) (England) Regulations 2009 SI 2009/2767 state that the articles of association of a RTM company shall take the form, and include the provisions, set out in the Schedule to the Regulations: Reg 2(1) Model articles apply in any event, whether or not they are adopted by the company: Reg 2(2).
