[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 296014, member: 6969"] It should be metered and paid for by the management company. In England and Wales it's usual for flats to be leasehold and pay a maintenance fee to the freeholder to cover things like this.It's a little more complicated up here. Leasehold is rare. Even flats are usually freehold. We own one (that we rent out) and the way it works is the freehold is owned in proportionate share. So we jointly own the ground with the flat above, but we wholly own the garden. In our case there are no communal stairways so we don't have this issue. the solution to this one is going to be determine who actually owns the stairwell and they should pay for it. If it turns out the stairwell is jointly owned by the 3 flats, then the supply should be metered and the 3 flats share the cost. [/QUOTE]
