Firstly some background : The lessee owns a flat and the landlord is a company (who I work for) which is the lessor and every lessee has a share in the company/lessor. My question is it acceptable if the lessee asks for all future correspondence issued by the lessor to the lessee to be sent not to him but to someone else. This would not only cover service rent charges but also legal notices such as section 20 notices , AGM notices ? I think as I have written permission from the lessee requesting this then it is acceptable  despite head lease states service charge notices are to be sent to the lessee, sec 20 notices have to be sent to leaseholder and AgM notices to the shareholder ( which is the lessee as he holds a share in the company ).
Any advice much appreciated.

Unless the lease allows for the service charges (and the other items mentioned in the lease) to be sent somewhere else, strictly speaking you can't send them anywhere else.

You might be able to avoid any sanction if you were able to show that the lessee had asked for this to happen, and that might be acceptable to everyone.

Unless there was a very good reason to do so, I'd probably simply say it's not allowed.
