Start with the lease copies and the cistern maintenance ledger. It is the source used to make a decision about whether tenants can be billed for a repair when the lease does not say how the cost is divided; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes the conditions at the residents’ desk at Lantern Stair House.
The latest count is 43 leases that name a shared repair duty; the prior file listed 41. The docket has returned for review with the exceptions and unresolved objections attached. The difference is a signal to check, not a verdict about who is right.
The disputed point is practical: The landlord cites a customary duty; residents say a custom cannot replace a written amount. One side relies on the posted total, while the other points to a repair clause copied by hand into a margin too narrow for the full schedule.
The risk of reading the file too broadly is that an entry becomes a conclusion. Eni Ved checked the lease copies and the cistern maintenance ledger against the field notes. The method is to ask who can use a service without an interpreter, sponsor or spare hour; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them.
Next: The housing clerk will compare the disputed clause with the signed copies held by both sides. A useful update will publish the method, exceptions and review date with the number.
