There is a management fee of living in an apartment or a flat to be paid to a management company. If an apartment or a flat is rent out, who should be paid this management fee - the house owner or the tenant?

The owner (leaseholder) of the apartment is responsible for paying the maintenance charges, ground rent and service charges (including management fee.) The tenant is only responsible for paying the rent and any other ancilliary charges that may have been agreed. i.e. utilities, council tax etc. The owner is the person getting the benefit of management company's services not the tenant.

The Landlord is responsible for the fee as he is the owner of the leasehold. However, some costs may be passed on to the tenant within the Tenancy Agreement. The most common of these is water rates (if they are included in the management fee) as the tenant is typically responsible for paying utility bills.

The property owner is responsible for payment of management fees. However, this could be passed to the tenant under the terms of the letting agreement. Should you not have signed to accept these fees, then don't pay them. They are not your responsibility.

The property owner pays the management fee, not the tenant.

The owner. (The rent that he sets for his tenants will ensure there is a margin to pay the management fee.)

Usually it is the Tenant.
