A property management company admitted it may reduce its service charges after a resident complained that it was far too much considering the current situation.
Single dad Callum Jones has lived at Garbo Court, in Monroe Close, Salford, for the past five years. In that time, he said that the service charge set by Contour Property Services has risen from around £80 a month to £115 a month.
Mr Jones branded the charge "ridiculous" and compared the cost to those he would expect to pay in the centre of London rather than Pendleton.
The company has said the rise in cost has been "in line with inflation" and is "necessary" for future investments in the buildings.
