Management fees are not applied by local authorities to their tenants in addition to differential rents. Rents paid by local authority tenants are used by local authorities to defray management and maintenance costs. The same position applies in relation to tenants of approved housing bodies. However, where houses are provided under the capital loan and subsidy scheme an annual management and maintenance allowance is paid in respect of each dwelling to the relevant approved housing body.

There are no details available in my Department of any management fees which may be levied on the owners of privately owned dwellings provided under the affordable housing schemes.
