# SI 2025/131 Explained: The 50% Mixed-Use Right to Manage Threshold & New Landlord Cost Rules Under LFRA 2024

Full breakdown of SI 2025/131 and SI 2025/130 commencing the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 Right to Manage reforms on 3 March 2025, including the 50% commercial threshold and landlord voting cap.

On 3 March 2025, SI 2025/131 brought sections 49 to 52 and section 64 (for Right to Manage purposes) of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 into force across England and Wales, raising the maximum non-residential internal floor area for RTM eligibility from 25% to 50% and ending automatic landlord RTM cost recovery.

## Summary of the March 2025 Right to Manage Reforms

Mixed-use blocks with up to 50% commercial floor area now qualify for RTM under s.49 LFRA 2024, landlord RTM dispute costs cannot be recharged through residential service charges under s.20J Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and SI 2025/130 caps landlord votes in an RTM company at one-third of qualifying tenant votes.
