Resident directors are probably people that own several properties on the development and have a vested interest in the "goings on" 😉
As a tenant have you tried going through your landlord? If it is a ManCo they will be a shareholder and will know who the directors are.
Speaking as a resident director I only wish that I had several properties on our development. Directors, for the most part, give their free time voluntarily to help run the estate and assist residents with issues. Sure, there are a few who see it as an ego trip but the majority of us do it with a good will.2 -
Good to know there are still some human beings out there in the world of property management. 🙂
To be honest harsh though it sounds i feel the letter to landowner i suggested earlier is not that inappropriate at this stage, if they are not aware of the poor practices of their agents thats on them.
If they do nothing or just get offended i will still be going to court either way. 😏1 -

As I have said before good luck with this as I don't agree with own space tickets. Given your letter I expect you will end up in court
One further suggestion. As a member of the ManCo your LL should be entitled to see the contract. Might be worth asking them if they could get you a copy1 -

Indeed, one of the directors of the MC of one of my properties owns 30+ flats and is hand in glove with the MA.
Unfortunately in many blocks, many of the residents are total rifff raff, all they are concerned about is that their Housing Benefit arrives on time.
Not so long ago I tried to interest the residents of one of the blocks where I own property in injuncting the MC over a parking issue. Of the twelve residents, only one was supportive, one was hostile, one launched into a diatribe against the HA, and the remainder were apathetic.
You never know how far you can go until you go too far.1 -

The vast majority of residents aren't that bothered one way or the other about PPCs.

Two things: the contract is between the ppc and ManCo, does it specifically have to be between the ppc and the landowner which on the lease is a differently named LLP.
The whole point of seeing the contract for me would be to see who the contract is between which seems not to be the landowner and ppc!0 -

I have spoken to our MA about this recently and she told me that if we had such a contract it would be between us (the ManCo) and the PPC. What does happen (and there was a case like this on here recently) is that the MA can sign for and on behalf of the ManCo. I am not saying that this is how it is in every instance but that was her advice.
If your landlord is really onside they could demand to see a copy of the contract. I would - and as a director I'd have no problem with letting any shareholder in the ManCo see it either.0 -

Even if the contract is between the MA and the PPC the ManCo would have instructed the MA to bring in the PPCGetting them to produce it is the hard part particularly given OP is a tenant. It's on the LL if they want to pursue the issue.0 -
