Recommendation (the committee's words)
It can come as an unpleasant shock during a difficult time to relatives of deceased shared owners to find out that they are liable to pay service charge costs when their relative living in an OPSO property has died, despite the fact that there is no longer anyone living in the property using the services paid for through the service charge.
