Having an RTM is never going to change the fact that some people will want
the property to look in pristine condition and are prepared to spend as much
as necessary to get that
and that some people will want to spend as little as possible even if that
means that the property looks like a slum
the latter are particular prevalent in a retirement property, amongst people
who have limited funds to spend on their day to day needs, and no further
interest in the capital value of the property.
The best that you can hope for is to manage the property in a cost effective
way for the things that you do agree on, instead of getting ripped off by
the third party doing it.

most want the things that *must* be done to be done efficiently
there's an ever increasing list of health and safety requirements impose
upon blocks that now have to be done, regards of the tenant in number 17
trying to veto it. (random choice of number, just in case my neighbours
have identified be)
