sinking fund
To spread the burden of major capital expenditure on a building, the tenant may be required to contribute regular periodic amounts, either in addition to or inclusive within the service charge to be collected as a separate fund which will be used to cover the eventual cost. Tenants need to be assured that the fund is effectively ring-fenced so that the landlord cannot spend the accumulated funds before they are due to be used. The funds held by the landlord are likely to be subject to trust under section 42 Landlord and Tenant Act 1987.
