“HOW DID YOU THINK MHML WERE FUNDING THE NEW LIGHTING?”
and apply for permission to sub-let prior to your new tenant moving in or we will take you to court for non payment and breach of your lease. This is your final warning.
I submit that this response above from Mrs Hillgarth following a 7 hour Board Meeting and still making erroneous accusations (Wade tender/lights etc) evidences Mrs Hill- garth’s incompetence and untrustworthiness as regards many other erroneous com- ments, observations and accusations.
Hence my demand to Mrs Hillgarth that under no circumstances would I meet with her unless a third party was present... for my security, not her’s....!
This a perfect example of what we were up against with Mrs H| Hillgarth. A constant denial of things discussed and agreed, an inability to read or digest anything, and a refusal to oblige her fellow Director’s request. Hence her continuing attempts to frustrate the schedules for the interior and exterior works and misinform other lessees most pertinently regarding the £2000 (which she initially refused to pay and told other lessees to withhold due to the Water Tank and TV/Sky requests for payment as she now maintained the £2000 was for those and could adequately cover their cost which actually amounted to £11,256 (initially quoted for £13,000 odd) which, had the £2000 per lessee been used as she insisted, it would have left only £6744 from the 9 x £2000 (£18,000) to cover a shortfall of £6757 to cover the £105,019 works’ budget with only approx £98,262 in Reserves (as per s.20 Notice dated 22 June 20140) - yet she still persisted, in view of this information, to canvass other lessees to withhold payments resulting in as it did, MHML reducing the works to fit the revised available funding all as well advised to lessees and posted on www.mitrehouse.com and can’t be denied as you have referred to it in your correspondence and as you have been supplied with, emails to all lessees saying do not pay if you haven’t already and those lessees that have paid (three at the time) will be fully reimbursed - see below:
In an email to all lessees dated 18 September 2014 (some 18 days into the works’ schedule) I wrote:
It appears that one or two lessees have refused/are refusing to pay the additional £2000 for various reasons, none of which are legitimate or excusable but I regret somewhat predictable, as evidenced in correspondence weeks and months ago.
It would be helpful if those same lessees and any other of the same opinion confirm they are now not willing to contribute the required additional funds to adequately cover the agreed £105,019 budget plus any unexpected contingencies as well as any panics within Mitre House generally (the lift, leaking pipes etc).
Management will then re-assess the schedule of works and reduce certain workings, cancel the terrazzo floor renovation, instruct one colour painting throughout the interior and most regretfully cancel the communal tv aerial install, scheduled for next Thursday/Friday.
Management is a limited company and cannot trade legitimately unless sufficient funds are in place to cover legally signed contracted workings. It's illegal and at present we're illegal but only until Monday 22nd midday.
Also those lessees who have paid to date will be immediately re-imbursed.
Management will make all the above re-scheduling and cancellations on Monday 22nd September at midday unless we hear back with good news from all lessees intending to honour their agreements (or not as the case may be), and our decision, if made, to abort certain workings will not be reversible, like the Scottish Referendum...!
