Ensure Section 20B sets deadline for final service charge after notification

Summary

Establish a statutory 6-month deadline for final service charge invoices following any notification under Section 20B of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. Section 20B effectively lets landlords bypass the 18-month service charge limit via indefinite "notifications". With no deadline for final bills, sales can collapse as lenders can't quantify hidden debts. New owners can face unfair bills and managers lack incentive for accountability and efficiency. We demand a strict 6-month limit to finalize accounts after a notice. We believe this reform will stop financial limbo, protect the housing market, and ensure transparency for UK leaseholders and freeholders with rent charges.
