Aims to analyse the meaning and effects of the specific changes brought about by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, and then to develop practical strategies in response for those involved in the management of blocks of flats.

Domitian, Emperor of Rome AD 81-96, has traditionally been portrayed as a tyrant, and his later years on the throne as a "reign of terror". But was Domitian a despot? Jones argues that the Court rather than the Senate was the centre of Domitian's power and of his cultural ambitions.

Suitable for anyone involved in the management of blocks of flats, or considering acquiring the management of their block, this book aims to guide on a variety of management issues, focusing on the pitfalls presented by the Act and how they may be avoided or overcome.
