# RTM Overview

> Understand the Right to Manage journey and how Manage.Management supports the public RTM workflow

## What is Right to Manage?

The Right to Manage (RTM) allows leaseholders to take over management of their building from the landlord without having to prove any fault or pay compensation.

<Info>
  RTM was introduced by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 and applies to most residential leasehold buildings in England and Wales.
</Info>

## How Manage.Management supports the RTM journey

The public RTM experience in Manage.Management is built around a guided journey rather than a single static page. Current RTM routes cover eligibility, survey, formation, statutory notices, acquisition, and a dashboard view once you are working through the process.
