Here is the full story Kezo on site warden told me electric charger no problem had6 test drives in evs was going to order filled out application form asked how much administration fee was told me £48 got a call 4 days later said we will save you the £48 as you won’t get permission as communial parking and going over path . It’s a very very very quiet cul de sac 32 bungalows retirement development just 5 cars on site at night . The head office is near good friends an hour away do I go in person to see them ? I’m going Xmas day with family to my nieces for Xmas dinner she is a legal secretary do I mention this to her ?
I still cannot get over you have a driveway leading to your front door and a path going right up to your door and they class it as communial parking. That not only sound bonkers but, more to the point, they can’t be bothered with the hassle. In the not so distance future, it will become a legal requirement for landlords to fit charge points for their tennants on a communial or directlt to homes. Unfortunately the law only mandates that landlords fit chargers to new homes or flats and newbuilds in general. On existing homes landlords are not legally obliged “to fit” chargers yet. However, the law does give tennants the right to install a charger, providing they pay for it (covered by Motability in your case) or via agreement with the landlord, the landlord pays for it upfront useing one of the grants available and the tennant pay the landlord back. I am no solicitor or legal secretary but, there does exist a law that gives tennants rights and one of these laws gives tennants the right to have a charger installed as long as they pay for it or in your case Motability pays for it and as long as it is safe to other around you and not a danger to other tennants or encroaches on communial areas. Has I have allready said, I don’t believe your driveway attached to your home or footpath leading to your front door is communial and that your landlord is using it as an escuse because, they either can’t be arsed or they fear they will have to pay for something! It maybe worth getting your niece to read what I have wrote and reading the below link below (firm of solicitors) and writing to your landlord on your behalf, stating the probability of the law/s allowing you the right to install a charger at your own cost, which will be covered by motability and that she does not believe the driveway attached to your property nor the path leading to your front door to be communial and if necessary request proof. https://westgate-chambers.co.uk/do-landlords-need-to-supply-an-ev-charger-for-their-tenants/
