24/02/2020 Riser Cupboard Inspection. A lot of residents feel that a riser cupboard is just extra storage space. They don't realise the cupboard belongs to the Freeholder and must be clear at all times. During our quarterly inspections, we come across personal items all the time in riser cupboards. We follow up our visits with TORTS notices to have the items removed. Then we attend site once the notice expires to see if the items have gone, if they haven't, we can remove them as the TORTS notice is part of the Interference of Goods Act 1977 which allows us to remove the items if we provide adequate time for the owner to remove first.
